D. Secondary recording- This is for any other source that you would like to record.

Note: You can only record two sources per drive that you have in your TriCaster before you get a yellow warning label saying that this many recordings may slow down your TriCaster and cause some lag. To add another source outside of the secondary select Add source in the bottom left hand corner.
