From 6850624ce389a2ab15e3248d3ae887654bab811b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: pcar75 <64435162+pcar75@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:40:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update 2021-09-09-Inputs.md I recently realized that my description for "Mixers with USB/..." was in error. I have reformulated the post to correct it, My apologies for anyone it may have inconvenienced. Thanks. --- _posts/2021-09-09-Inputs.md | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/_posts/2021-09-09-Inputs.md b/_posts/2021-09-09-Inputs.md index 6bd045bbd..152aea63e 100644 --- a/_posts/2021-09-09-Inputs.md +++ b/_posts/2021-09-09-Inputs.md @@ -8,10 +8,11 @@ heading: "Points to note about inputs" ## Points to note about inputs -- If you want to connect 2 or more sources (e.g. voice + synth + guitar), it is important to note that Jamulus currently handles only 2 input channels (L/R).
