Does the Eleven rack function as a interface like an MBox, will it allow me run other instruments or a drum machine thru it to be recorded?

The front panel has a single guitar input and stereo guitar out and a single phantom powered XLR microphone input. So you could do entire projects via USB. I haven't ever used it that way, I have a MOTU firewire interface. I plug the stereo XLR's into the MOTU and use it as a guitar pre-amp/effects unit. There are a couple of line inputs on the back.. check the specs on the Avid website.

Yes, but it's not really a very good interface for multitracking. It's basically EXPLICITLY for guitar. If you want to multitrack drums or something you CANNOT do that with this. There isn't enough analog I/O (unless you have a mixer with enough channels and at least 2 buses to send those channels out to Pro Tools. But if you have a drum sampler or virtual instrument, yep. Works just fine. It's a full fledged interface.

It has a microphone input for recording vocals. As far as drum machines and other inputs you can do that but will need to set the input on your Recording software to the guitar input signal which is a dry signal and remove all rig processing. You will also need to go in and change some of the settings to be a line level input. You should be able to set a preset for this purpose. The Elevin will act as a sound card on your computer and all audio will go through it. It's a great unit, very versatile.

It does. It has audio/line in jacks as well as a mic input that you can use for your inputs into protools (or any other daw)

Yes it is an interface via USB or SPDIF. There are analog inputs for external devices. Bas patches are preloaded in the 11r and your bass gets plugged right into the guitar input. They sound pretty good too. I like the 11r. Get good monitor speakers and enjoy. I hope this helps.

Hey Kelly, the DP-03 doesn't have a drum machine, either. I don't really recall seeing any newer multitrack recorders featuring these, except for the Zoom R24 recorder. It is similar in price to the Tascam DP-03, but without a disc burner. On the other hand, it will also function as an audio interface for your computer, and has the built-in drum machine.Isn't it annoying how recorders all have only *some* of the features you find useful? :P

It depends on what you want to do with it in a home studio. I'd guess that the lack of buses kinda preclude using it in a traditional recording manner - where you have multiple sources that you're feeding to some sort of recording system. What are you looking to do?

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

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.

Only if it somehow utilizes stereo jacks to do so, like a footswitch input for electronic drum hi hats. Most likely you want a midi toggle switch of some sort.

I'm not sure what you're asking. You can record up to four .wav files simultaneously and then work with those .wav files in ProTools without interfering with the MTrack Quad at all. Please clarify your question if that answer doesn't clarify for you.

you can record 16 separate tracks in and listen to 4 tracks out all at the same time, depending on how you configure cubase. Also the "separate" monitor out is just 1 and 2 with a volume knob up front. Dose that answer your question?

You can program whatever beats you like. (manually) It has a couple of presets for Hip Hop. However, the presets for different genres are limited. So I would not suggest this for your application. If you "make" the beats I would strongly suggest it. Hip Hop presets no. I don't know Magix M.M. I chose the SR18 because it sounds like a real acoustic kit. (Not a drum machine).

Yes it does , This is not a drum machine mind you, but a full professional band and i made a lot of recordings with this. .. Good luck and enjoy if you purchase this item it's worth every penny. .

I use windows xp to record. It works great. If you're having a hard time just download the drivers off of divide sign that support the mbox. Have fun

Yes it can. I use it as one all the time. It has MIDI in and outs or use can use USB to MIDI.

I use the Fishman midi pickup to operate all my midi devices without ever opening their software. I will occasionally use it to set the pickup response or to check the battery but that's about it.

I won't be of much help to you in this area of using this machine for that! I had bought the Sangean DAR-101 machine to hook up to my mixing amplifier, so I could record my songs on it. And it works wonderful for that purpose. Just go on your search engine and type in "Sangean DAR-101 recording machine reviews", you might find your answer from one of the reviews on there. Sorry I couldn't of been a help to you!!

Hi, no, you still need an amplified or mini system with phono sockets. Most mini or midi hifis dont enable you to use a recordplayer without a pre amp but you can with this

While I do not know Garage Band, it's a DAW so it should, in theory, see all of the inputs on the US1800. I did a quick check and found this link - scroll down a bit to see the questions pertaining to the US1800 and garage band: http://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/digital-recording-computers/trying-record-multiple-track-simultaneously-garageband-333057/I'm pretty sure that it will work, but if not, you can always return it, right?

I have used a roland e-kit, and a yamaha dd55 into garageband and a couple other drum programs on the ipad with very little problem. Had to adjust a midi note assignment here and there, but other than, it was pretty much plug and play for me.
