He recorded three separate inputs (direct guitar pick up, mic 1, mic 2) by simply \u201cArming\u201d the respective inputs on the Record\/Playback page on the TouchMix. After the performance, the recorded tracks\u00a0were played back through their respective Channels on the TouchMix by engaging the \u201cTrack\u201d switch on the Record\/Playback page. Channel level adjustments, Panning and Effects including EQ, compression, reverb, etc., were applied to the individual Channels. Once the desired \u201cmix\u201d was achieved, the &#8220;Stereo 2-Track&#8221; Channel was \u201cArmed\u201d and the mix was then recorded to the USB3 hard drive.
