Scott, there are 2 condenser mics and 2 inputs, you can record all at the same time, but it will be stereo for that recording (mics as left and inputs as the right channel - you can set up for four track recording and record each tracknsepetately like any other multi track - the real magic of this device is the ability to record the whole room and off the board at the same time, and the compact size. The software is cumbersome, and the "new" file set up is missing ( which sucks if you want to cut up your files live because starting a new file isn't set up properly) my only negative - that being said, it's a great littl idea catcher and the quality is very good.

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.

Works fine for audio, but I guess there's a limit to the account of tracks that you can play simultaneously.

No. I wish it could. I also wish I could stop ans start recording for chosen tracks only.

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!

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.

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

This unit allows you to record to 8 tracks simultaneously and has it's own preamps but you may use your own in addition to the built-ins if you need to tweak your sound/signal.

you can only record 2 (two) mono tracks at once. you can play back 8 tracks, stereo or mono. any controller capability is via USB port.

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

Hello Martin,my wife is logged on and I saw your post.I have this recorder,Dp-008.8 tracks but you can only record 1or 2 at a time,then go back and record on another 1or 2 until all 8 are full. There's only 2 inputs anyway.this is true for the dp-oo4 4trk also.Mabey a different brand or I know most 16tr recorders allow 4 at once.Hope this helps,you probably have your answer already. Allen

Yes, its not fun though. The only way to re-record is to clear the memory... and that clears all 5 potential recordings. So make sure you have everything you want to put back on it backed up.

Sorry I never responded... You can do 4 mono or 2 stereo. A lot of this varies on your software. I didn't like the ProTools Express software and grabbed Music Creator 6 Touch and that only allows 2 inputs max (doesn't matter what hardware you have) so I upgraded to Sonar X3 and yes I can do 4 tracks with that.

Your best bet would be to record your backing track into the Tascam (you have 8 tracks to use), then add a mike and record into a different track. The. Tascam has an equalizer so you can adjust the spund of your vpice as desired. Great little device. I wasted two years buying one software package after another to use on my computer and none of them were worth a toot. I love the Tascam for its ease and portability. The learning curve is moderate but the manual is very good at walking your through the process of making a master track (wav file) which can then be uploaded onto your computer. I downloaded another free software to change the wav file into an mp3. You'll love the Tascam onvce you are used to using it.

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
