Using the program source switch, each

program can quickly select from three

different inputs without repatching:
• FireWire

• Line or Phono (set Line/Phono switch)

• CD Player (or other line-level)

The output from various software, such as Reason™, Live™, Tracktion™, and Logic™ can be sent to

the program channels for mixing, and the final mix recorded for broadcast/podcasting. This is also a

nice setup for recording your record collection for posterity. You could also play timecode vinyl and set

up a virtual turntable on the laptop. In this way, you can use the physical turntable to control any musical

tracks added to the virtual turntable.
