How many tracks can you record simultaneously to your computer (onto separate tracks)? I need to record 4 at the same time.

The EIE 16 bit seems capable of recording 4 inputs at once... I have recorded three at once. So I would assume 4 would work just as well. I use Logic pro and the recording was just fine. I haven't done a successful test to see if It's capable of running two phantom power mics at once. But I only have one good condenser so not necessary at the moment. Hope that helps.

How many can your computer handle. So far, I use Reason 7.1 and have not recorded more than two. I have not had a need for it. I imagine I should be able to record 4 though. I hope this helps.

To mix 4 or 8 or really any number of mics into one channel you will need a splitter to go from 1 to 4 (or how ever many you need). You may have to get two 1 to 4 and one one to 2 to mix 8 together. Or you get a mixing device which will be more expensive. Now of course if you do this the one channel that is recording is going to have all audio channels recording at the same time so if you have sound on all channels it will be hard to isolate one specific channel to listen to. You really want a separate recording channel for each mic unless you know you will never have audio on more than one mic at a time.

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.

Yes, you can record 2 audio lines at the same time (and also a 3rd MIDI line, too).

Yes. You can record 2 new tracks at a time and it plays all the tracks while you are recording the new ones. If you don't want to hear the other tracks, you can manually turn them down or mute them. Hope this helps. it is a magnificent machine for the price.

You cannot use both the input and output on the 2 track at the same time, they can only be used 1 at a time.

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.

I think you can register 3. I'm positive that you can register 2. I have it on my desktop and laptop. Toontrack's licensing and user area is extremely user friendly.

YES.... one can, as example, Record, tracks, 1, 2, 3....and then, later on,Listen to these 3 trax, While recording separate tracks, 4, 5, etc...upto you , to be synchronized....or layer on.... songs, trax...exactly like a Tape machine... have fun.

Yes, you can record specific tracks from multiple discs. The total number you can program for recording is 25 tracks. I hope this answers your question.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

Yes, you can. You can record one or two tracks simultaneously, while the remaining tracks are playing back.

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

Not a silly question. I've heard stories that it can't be done or that it can only be done with certain sound cards, but nothing definitive. I'd ask the same question - can you listen while recording, either through the computer OR through the separate audio output simultaneously?

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.

Every time you overdub, it creates a brand new track with the previous track along with the overdub. This means that you can overdub on the same track infinitely. I honestly would not recommend the overdub feature because it has no metronome and no blinking light to tell you when to come in.
