I will do the test.
In the meantime, I have created an agregate device composed of my
mixer and sound flower, which gave me a maximum of three chanels,
meaning possibly that my device is seen as a stereo device, thus with
two chanels.
My recordings show, however, that the whole thing goes to one track
only. I will investigate if it is going to three diferent tracks.
In any case, this starts another question: in cases where I want mix
everything through the mixer, is there a way of making audacity see
the whole chanels as one, meaning that the input will be read through
X chanels but recorded in one track?
