Can I record four simultaneous discreet tracks on ProTools, Garage Band or Logic Pro, etc. using this?

Yes, but you'll need an external ADC. Two inputs are analog, two are digital.

A) Discreet or Discrete? I'll assume you mean the latter.B) The DAW software isn't really an issue here.C) No. This device has only TWO discrete analog input channels.D) M-Audio Mac drivers may only let you have ONE M-Audio brand USB audio device in use at a time, so don't think you can stack two, or mix this device and another M-Audio device to get 4 input channels. Paying for good driver programming is partly what makes MOTU more expensive. Let's see if anyone at M-Audio will chime in with a correction: there's a small chance they've mended their evil driver ways.

No you cannot. The device has 4 inputs, but only 2 can be used simultaneously.

Yes, but I would not purchase an M-Audio, for they are known for bad pre amps. Get a Steinburg UR44 interface, for you can have 2 headphones and it's sample rate is way higher, cleaner and in having my for about a year I have not had any issues at all. Yamaha owns Steinburg now, but they have always been known for quality as with Roland equipment.Charles of "Higher Call" Music

That's what it is built for! Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks. You *will* need to purchase a separate audio interface if your computer doesn't have say 1/4" and XLR audio inputs, but you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks here on Amazon if need be.

Yes, you can do four separate tracks at once. It depends on the software you're using though, the version of Audacity I have for Windows is limited to 2 channels for some reason, but Audacity in OSX allow for four. FLStudio can also see up to four mono channel or a pair of stereo inputs (chans 1/2 and 3/4).

Sure man, you can use it with any DAW (like Logic, Pro Tools, etc) or as a stand alone program.

You can record separate tracks but it will be one file. If you want separate files, they will need to be recorded separately.

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.

I've never done it that way but Yes you should be able to. At worst you would make a track as you listen, then you could save or delete. I/ve copied most of my vinyl and burned to CD as well as having a copy on my computer. Audacity works well (free)

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

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.

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.

You can either export them all as one track or keep them separate. There is even an option to group several but not all. If you keep them apart, you can then insert them into a multi track software program to edit them separately. This is a beautiful thing and works really well if you have the right software. Putting different effects on each track or altering volume or reverb for each. Very nice.

Yes - very easy to select which track, or to record both tracks at once. You do have to remember to switch on the monitor for each track if you use the focusrite's monitor or headphone jack

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.

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.

I think the limitations would only exist in audacity, if they exist at all. I use mine to simultaneously record using 4 drum mics, and it works like a charm. Good luck on the podcast!

You will only be able to record a mix of your tracks if you are using the djuiced software. You will not be able see the mix in your music files (In computer not software)

You can only record two tracks at a time, so a whole band will not be possible unless you record each member at a time. Check the DP-24 and DP-32 for 8 inputs, meaning you can record 8 tracks at a time.
