However, unlike your standard audio interface, the USB mixer still allows you the capability of mixing channels during the process of live performance or live recording (instead of doing the mixing in post on a DAW system.) So how does a USB Mixer Work? A USB Mixer works similarly to an ADA audio interface, in that it converts the analog mixing process into digital to be read by a computer and its recording software. If you know that an audio interface converts analog signals into digital ones, then what does that mean for a mixer with a USB (when mixers are typically analog?)
If you are used to recording with analog mixers, the onset of products like the USB Mixers might seem a little baffling.
