In the Knowledgebase section of the Jamulus website ( jamuluswebsite / _posts / 2021-09-09-Inputs.md ), I recently realized that my description for "Mixers with USB/..." was in error. I have reformulated the post to correct it My apologies to anyone it may have inconvenienced.
Thanks.

It's definitely a good more general improvement (I don't know enough "large" interfaces or any mixers to comment on the specifics).

- 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.
