I recently realized that my description for "Mixers with USB/..." was in error. I have reformulated the post to correct it, My apologies for anyone it may have inconvenienced. Thanks.

## Points to note about inputs

- If you want to connect 2 or more sources (e.g. voice + synth + guitar), it is important to note that Jamulus currently handles only 2 input channels (L/R). So the hardware being used must provide a mixed-down stereo output to Jamulus. Alternatively, run two instances of Jamulus, if your hardware supports it, or use virtual audio inputs to Jamulus for each hardware input.

- Audio interfaces generally output a mixed signal on their analogue output, but separate signals (1 per source) on their digital output (USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt).

- Mixers generally only output mixed-down signals on their analogue output.

- Mixers with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt generally output a mixed-down signal on their **analogue** output AND separate signals only (no mixed-down signal) on their **digital** output.

- A few Mixers with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt will either send **only** a mixed-down signal to the **digital** output (small/budget mixers), or else also ADD a stereo mixed-down signal to the separate signals on the digital output.

- If you want to connect many sources (e.g. voice + synth + guitar), it is important to note that Jamulus currently handles only 2 input channels (either Mono 1 and 2 or Stereo L/R). So the hardware (audio interfaces or mixers) being used must provide a mixed-down 2 channels output to Jamulus. Alternatively, run more instances of Jamulus, if your hardware/software supports it, or use virtual audio inputs (1) to Jamulus for each hardware input.

- A few Mixers with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt (sometimes called "mixerface") can send a stereo mixed-down signal AND/OR separate signals on the **digital** output.

(1) You could use a DAW with virtual routing between your hardware and Jamulus (example : Reaper with ReaRoute).
