What is most appealing about working with this mixer is that all adjustments are made in real-time. This is how DAWs were meant to function, and MxTrax for DSP Factory does it well. The Track Window MxTrax gets two thumbs up for keeping the Track Window very user friendly. As with the mixer, you decide how many tracks you want your multitrack recorder to have. Tracks can be added one at a time as needed, or a number of tracks can be added at once.
Tracks are mono only, so stereo audio takes up two tracks.
Tracks can be grouped for performing simultaneous edits and other functions on both tracks. Connecting tracks to mixer channels is a simple click-drag function. Drag the plug to the desired mixer channel, and the digital connection is made. The internal patch bay of the DS2416 can be a bit confusing if you don't have a good grasp on how audio flows through a mixer, but MxTrax keeps this versatile digital mixer fairly easy to configure. And once you've set up the type mixer you wish to use and save it, you'll never have to mess with the virtual patch cords again.
