Hi, thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate that. Wel I
understand that it would not be possible to record 2 or more inputs at
the same time, but as far as I understand the manual, you can use any
input along with the internal recording at the same time. I am just
not sure how to get the internal thing going, mostly you would need to
select "StereoMix" or something of that nature, but for this cart i'm
not sure. But I wil see if I can get the stronger one, otherwise I
will do it later as I con't wait to long.
