I followed the instructions to download upgrades from the alesis website first. Easy to follow instructions. Works great! Plugged in mic & guitar and tried a few 2 track mixes, added effects, very easy to use. I am using audacity software on my laptop, and so far all I can get is 2 tracks at a time or 1 mono through the USB 2.0. This seems to be an audacity problem, not the mixer, so I may try the included Cubase to get 4 tracks at once, though I have no expierence with that program, so I am sure there will be a learning curve. Previously I used a Fostex 4-track cassette deck (which I hope to run through this mixer & convert those old master tapes). This is my first expierence with computer recording, and to my suprise it has been easier than I thought!
