I am planning on using this with my roland tdw-20 drums, for drumming over tunes on my ipad. Would it work? can you record multiple tracks?

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.

Yes. Only you need is select track indicator - REC/Playback/MUTE. You record each instrument in one track. And while the instruments are playing, you choice the track status. Or you record all at same time, and after choice which one you want keep or discard. Is a great recorder, here in our studio Works fine!

Absolutely, no problem. Record the click track on its own channel, and route it separately through your mixer to the headphones. Another way which would save one track would be to record over a click track using the rhythm section and route it separately. You can actually run 4 separate mono tracks by panning main and subs each left and right.

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

The recorded file will be one track. You would need to stop the recording and start again after every song if you wish to record each track separately

With some creativity, yes. The mixer is 2 Track - Stereo. You can PAN sources to the Left or Right. Most Multi-Track Recording sessions I have experienced (very, very limited), we have only recorded one source at a time - this was with a very expensive Pro-Tools Studio with far more expensive mixer/control surface. (Although it could have been a limitation of our facility.)

Hi Dawn..I'm not sure I understand... If you run left channel to left "03" input and right channel too right input of "03" you can record to "03" but seems there should be a cheaper device for recording 2 tracks out there? paul

It can. And very realistically! It's got quite a few rhythm patterns of various genres. Really handy when you're trying to record a backing track.

You need an interface, and it depends what are you using it for, multitrack recording or just one input. Personus makes nice affordable interfaces, but there are others.

I don't think so. I believe if you're using the "mic in" slot it overrides the built-in microphone. Either way, it only records one track at a time.

As long as your drummer can hear and stay on time with the looping track(s) I'd say it would be great for that. As a musician, however, you can beat a bass player that can change lines and add flourishes as he or she plays.

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?

Yes, you can. I record to my 24 track digital studio with great results. You need to consider compressing the drums on the way in or on playback/mix-down to get them to sit in the mix better.

Yes you can. You should be able to record more than 2 songs as well. Hope this helps you

If it's the only mic you're using, probably back in the room, about 8-10 feet away. Make sure you're compressing the hell out of the signal... I've never tried this on drums but wouldn't be surprised if it's too sensitive and is prone to distortion. I haven't seen a USB mic that can handle a drum kit. A better drum/general purpose mic is the Rode stereo mic... The Rode iXy is great too. But the Apogee is the best sounding USB mic I've ever used by far for vocals.

Yes to both questions. Second question possibly depends on your full setup and what you are doing. I've been using a 2012 iMac for recording 15-20 tracks without issue.

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