[16string]

Hi there,

used to use analog mixing consoles I started with reaper now. My experience so far is that reaper is a great DAW.

I learnt analog mixers by studying block diagrams.

In reaper I am confused by the matrix. No idea what the ins and outs are.

My environment: a laptop, a Behringer UCA202 (USB-Device) as the interface between laptop and further analog equipment (mixer, amps etc.)

The ins in the matrix should be the input channels (left and right) coming from the USB-interface. The outs should be also the interface. Am I right?

And a stupid question: following the above routing: is the internal sound card used any longer? Or replaced by the USB-interface?

A block diagram might be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
