Can this record at least 4 XLR condenser mics and send them to my computer on separate tracks?

Yes. Everyday I record acoustically from my digital piano using four stereo channels, eight condenser microphones with different characteristics. One stereo track from large-diaphragm condenser mics is for vocals, but picks up piano selectively. I set equalization and use feedback to give my digital piano a super-Steinway sound. The TASCAM DP-24 is an excellent instrument for expressing your creativity. Phantom power can be selected to each of two banks of mics.

It has 8 XLR/combo 1/4 inch inputs that can record on separate tracks and be assigned to the other 16 tracks..Your track files can be imported into the computer...The DP-24 can be used as your control surface for the computer, however, I use it as a stand alone unit and try to stay away from computers, except for storing completed mastered stereo tracks. You can download the Tascam DP-24 manuel directly from Tascam and read up on its capabilities.

Yes. The signals of the 2 mics will be reduced but if you have enough amplification then it should record. You just won't have the ability to adjust the recording level other than placement of the sound source(s)

Yes. You will need a mic jack converter though. I found one a Radioshack for a really cheap price. You will need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. Also make sure it has two rings on the tip. 3 rings wont work, and the single ring only records on the left channel.

I haven't actually tried this but you should be able to run a line from the headphone input to a computer and record it onto a multitracking program (like Audacity) and go from there.

Twisterjester has said it all. If you need more than one XLR (Std mic input) channel, you need to look at other mixers.

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.

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.

Probably. Most computer sound cards have stereo capability. The cable will maintain the stereo separation. Two possible problems: do your mics require phantom power? The computer will not provide it. Is your computer mic input sensitive enough for the mics you want to use?

Sorry but I do not have any experience with condenser mics but I used JML2 plugged into mixer effect loop. Also used it with SM57 recording percussion and it worked fine.

Hello, I love this recorder, use it all the time and it's very intuitive and well-made. I have not used the recorder to record 4 tracks simultaneously, I think it will not do 4 independent channels. It can record four channels by taking two input channels, and record to four through the application of two different gain levels each. If I needed four truly independent channels, I would get a different recorder that had separate physical gain controls for each channel, and four separate XLR inputs each with phantom power.

Audio Technica has a variety of condenser mics. Regardless of the one you pick it will work.

Technically you can't, but you might have issues with both trying to take over the same port, or the computer might read them as the same microphone. In theory I think you could with some tinkering. I've connected two microphones to my PC before but with two different microphones.

Yes, actually up to 5 mics at the same time, plus additional input (like a CD player, etc.) I use it for Podcasts and group recordings in a studio environment and I love it! Small size and lots of ability for the price.

Technically yes, but it's not really designed for that. You would have to take the LINK output and run it to an existing audio interface on your computer. If you're looking to record multiple instruments, you may have better success using a mixer and a USB audio interface. Check out the Behringer Xenyx 1204USB.

I have recorded 14 separate tracks at onces in Cubase 5le using Windows 7 on my laptop. No problem if your computer is relatively fast.

No you cannot. It will just have the L and R mains . The first eight channels have a direct out that you could plug into a multi track interface. I have pro tool, cubase, and audacity and that's how it works in all three.

Technically you could hook up 5 mics but you would likely need an adapter from XLR to 1/4 phono for four of them and you would only have a 'Balanced' input for the one (whatever that means)
