Will the software allow you to record one track then record several separate tracks and join them in one audio file?

Your recording software will determine this. I record multi track compositions all the time with this interface connected to GarageBand. You can also record two separate tracks simultaneously.

Yes. The included DAW is Ableton Live Lite, which can run up to 8 tracks simultaneously. If you already have another software products then it will depend on their particular limitations. To find more info about Live Lite you can head over to Ableton's website.

i dont use the software but i dont think the accompanying software is a recording program. it might be. i use the 2i4 with garageband which will do multitrack recording and then mix down to a stereo track.

I have been recording for years but - I was the guy saying can you give me another track for this or that. Never touched the buttons and my friend has a vast system so have been intimidated to start on my own. Can you create a mix and bump 3+ tracks down to 1 line then have extra tracks open to add more?

Yes, the software suite will allow you to record a backing track to one channel, while you record your guitar track on a separate channel.

You will have to use a DAW to operate for sure. It's not a stand alone. I also notice other comments to this regards. Good luck, Merry Xmas!

Actually you can. All 3 tracks are editable with the software. The software interface is kind of hokey, but it does work.

You can record multiple tracks with it connected to a computer through the use of software like Garage Band, or Cakewalk, Avid Pro Tools or any of the other major DAW programs. It does not have the ability to record to a memory card. It is not a digital audio recorder like the Zoom or Tascam recorders. This is a very nice computer interface that allows users to connect 4 microphones or instruments at a time to a computer via USB connection.

it records into tracks(listens for silence parts) Since I have been using Audio Station, I don't use it that way..you could and it works ok. I think it's just better to record side one and use markers. Then go back and edit the file. hope that helps

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

It should be compatible. I havent used reason, however I use abelton live and adobe audition and it simultaneously records seperate tracks with no problem.

yes and no. this machine is kind of hard to work with whenever there is any type of transferring involved. if you can play the tracks one at a time while this records it, then yes, since you will have the same tracks, just moved into the other recording system (think multitrack re-recording). I've tried that before and it works perfectly fine as long as (1) you can perfectly sync the start times of all of the tracks as you re-record them (that should be as easy as hitting play on one and record on the other simultaneously), and (2) you don't accidentally add a lot of hum or noise to the tracks by re-recording them. you may not notice the noise when you try just one track, but with eight tracks, that means that any noise entering the tracks between the two recorders will be multiplied by 8. so, in short, yes you can transfer tracks from the old unit to the new one as long as you make sure that all of the tracks start at the same time, you don't accidentally add loads of noise, and you aren't in a hurry ('cause it's going to take a little while to transfer all those tracks over). does that help?

it does i am running this on a mac and converted them onto ITunes but you dont have to you can stop the process it works great and will let you choose if you want to separate the tracks so when its done you can name them

I was curious myself when purchasing, and after seeing an image on another site. The answer to your question is no, they all get mixed into one track.
1954260
yes I have done this. You can record one at a time, or 2,3 or all 4 at once. It MUST be connected to either a PC or MAC to do any of this.

I think the software included only works with ITunes. You'd have to use Audacity or another software.

No, while technically it can record four tracks, they are essentially two stereo tracks based on three inputs sources.The built in mics will create a single left and right stereo track, the external inputs will create a left and right stereo track also. You can use a software program to break them out into four mono tracks, but the built in mics will essentially be the same source.I hope this helps

Well, I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. Yes you can record several inputs together at the same time and tthen of course they would be synchronized. You could also record tracks one at a time, however in that case they would not be synchronized and you would need to put them together with some type of audio software. The Zoom is a good mixer, but it's not really an editor.

You can split the tracks during recording by pressing a button. If you wish to split after recording you will need software such as audacity which I think is free.
