8.10 Audio Output Over USB
The Tracker Mini can send audio out over a connected USB connection.
This will send 12 stereo channels out to the connected device. The
conguration is automatic within the Tracker Mini and any compatible
device connected to the USB connection will be able to access the audio
channels from Tracker Mini.
Aggregate Device
To ensure compatibility with the USB Audio features of Tracker Mini it is
highly recommended to use a Mac or PC set up with an aggregate device.
An aggregate device is a virtual interface created on the PC or Mac to
integrate several audio in and out elements together. This overcomes any
issues with multiple / separate devices used for inputs and outputs to a PC
or Mac and allows audio software such as a DAW to connect seamlessly.
The process of setting up an aggregate device may differ depending on the
OS of the PC or Mac and also the connected devices. A general guide is
provided here as reference only.
