6 tracks can be recorded simultaneouslyas long as you have a strong enough audio interface.

It records on two tracks unless you use an external mic in which only records on one track. Search Amazon for a (C2G / Cables to Go 40634 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Mono Female Adapter (Metallic Silver)) About $5.00. now it will record on tracks using an external mic. Not the same as stereo but you'll get sound out of both speakers. I use a Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier that and the adapter ROCK.

Yes, you can record specific tracks from multiple discs. The total number you can program for recording is 25 tracks. I hope this answers your question.

No, it is only an interface to connect your microphones/instrument/MIDI to the computer, and to route sound from the computer to speakers/headphones. You can attach up to 4 microphones simultaneously to your computer. To record and save tracks you must have an audio program on your computer such as Logic Pro/Pro Tools/Audacity. Also, I would not recommend this product if you plan on using it with a Mac, as the latest driver provided by Akai is not compatible with the latest Mac operating system.

No longer have this mixer, never used it for recording not sure if it would work simaltaneous multitrack recording.

As far as sound quality goes, its awesome. The part where it lags is on on muliti track recording. I say this because you can't record seperate tracks individually like you can on a digital recorder. You can run 6 drum mics, guitar cab, bass, and vocals and whatever else in simultaneously and be fine but they are all going yo be down to left or right channels. You can go back and add overbubs with no problem but if you everything on its own channel so you can go back in and protools it, its not gonna be so easy. But for what I use it for it is an awesome unit and I highly recommend it for recording practices and shows. If you are trying to make a good HQ demo, get a tascam or something similar.

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

Peter, you can record from a single track up to eight tracks, but you have the option to connect another Zoom R16 and add another 8 tracks so you can have up to 16 tracks.I recommend to watch video lessons in the internet, specially the David Wills lessons in ProAudio DVDsGod Bless!

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

Yes you can record 4 individual tracks at the same time on to your DAW pro tools or other

You can use the USB to record tracks at the same time. I'm not sure about the digital in and out function, as I just use the USB.

For most uses it's got 8 inputs (XLR or 1/4" combo jacks). The rest are ADAT, S/PDIF, and virtual inputs I believe, but since I don't ever use those I'm not sure how to use them yet. All inputs can be routed to separate tracks. You assign the track input number in your DAW. 2 Mic/Line/Inst Combo XLR (Inputs 1 and 2) 6 Mic/Line Combo XLR (Inputs 3-8)

I'm guessing you want to hook up a microphone and another audio source like a CD player or iPod at the same time and be able to mix background music in realtime, rather than having to edit a multitrack recording after the fact in GarageBand or similar software? This little mixer will work fine for that purpose. If you are thinking of mixing multiple microphone inputs simultaneously on one recording (several people talking at once), it won't work for that: you'd need a bigger mixer with more than one XLR input jack (as many as you plan to have mikes going at once).

The device records a single stereo track at a time. If you want to record different tracks separately, you could conceivably do that and synchronize the tracks using software, but you would need something more capable in that regard (a digital audio workstation) than the included Wavelab LE (an audio editor).

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

Scott, there are 2 condenser mics and 2 inputs, you can record all at the same time, but it will be stereo for that recording (mics as left and inputs as the right channel - you can set up for four track recording and record each tracknsepetately like any other multi track - the real magic of this device is the ability to record the whole room and off the board at the same time, and the compact size. The software is cumbersome, and the "new" file set up is missing ( which sucks if you want to cut up your files live because starting a new file isn't set up properly) my only negative - that being said, it's a great littl idea catcher and the quality is very good.

Without trying, I have no clue. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a mixer? For the price of 5 of these, you could get a decent mixer. Otherwise, even if you could essentially create 10 different outputs, I'm not sure there are any programs out there that would be designed to see 10 different audio sources. I could be mistaken. Regardless, I'm willing to bet there''s something out there that can already do what you need it to do, instead of piling up a bunch of external sound cards.
