Hi Patrick,

A mixer with USB output (USB mixer) is an audio interface :). If connecting a USB mixer to a Windows PC, make sure to use one with manufacturer-supplied ASIO drivers. Some USB mixers don’t come with ASIO drivers, and audio drivers provided by Windows have higher latency.

FarPlay easily accepts a stereo mix (typically provided by basic USB mixers and audio interfaces) as well as the 6 input channels in your example, say, from a Scarlett 18i16 (or other audio interface with lots of inputs). If you bring in 6 inputs into the computer, create a track for each input in FarPlay’s Input Mixer, which then combines the separate tracks into a single stereo (or mono) mix to send to the session.

For a song at 145 bpm, the musicians in Mexico will hear you in Atlanta and especially the bass player in New Jersey play slightly behind the beat. For a rough sense of how the delay between the musicians in Mexico and the bass player might feel, check out this example of Oteil Burbridge playing bass in California for a class in New York, where the drummer was located. Just let the musicians in Mexico know to keep going (ask that they don’t slow down to help the musicians in Atlanta and New Jersey catch up).

Thank you,
David Liao
