You are on the wrong track here when talking about "multi-track
recording software.


I wasn't talking about multitrack software, I was talking about the
difference between "true" (who ever came up with that moniker?) and
"virtual" (pretty well established) recording.

True multi-track is where you can record more than 2 tracks at once.


The better name for that is two-channel or multi-channel recording. Even
2 channels is considered "multitrack."

Virtual multi-track is where you record 2 tracks at a time, but can
mix a larger number in the software. Most (not all) software these
days can do both given suitable hardware though.


That's nobody's definition but your own. That's just "not having as many
inputs as you want to record simultaneously."
