Q: Does the Aureus 28 support multitrack recording to a computer over USB and which connections should I use for recording?
A: The mixer provides USB Type B for computer connection and USB Type A for storage/playback.

Keep firmware updated via USB/Ethernet and back up scenes/presets to a USB drive regularly.

Q: How long will shipping and delivery take, and are there special shipping considerations for this mixer?
A: Shipping times depend on the retailer and your location—check the seller’s estimated delivery at checkout. Because this is a high-value, fragile audio device, expect secure packaging, possible insured shipping, and signature-on-delivery options. For international orders, allow extra time for customs and contact the seller about export paperwork or expedited shipping options.
