Can I record two separate tracks at once? For example, I have two mics pointed at two separate people in an interview.

Yes and No. If you have 2 XLR mics...you can separate L and R in your software. Other than that... No ...as all other Mic options are an "either or" type of deal.

Dear Mike, you can record mixed tracks through USB or REC out available, if you were asking about guitar effects, not vocals then you should look for other mixers as well. This is a great mixer for music + vocals and produces great real time sound. I haven't experimented to record separate or isolated tracks along with mixed or live mixed sound. I may need some time to think and experiment on it. Still if you feel that you can elaborate your question, please do it, it may help me think further.

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.

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.

Peter, you can record from a single track up to eight tracks, but you have the option to connect another Zoom R16 and add another 8 tracks so you can have up to 16 tracks.I recommend to watch video lessons in the internet, specially the David Wills lessons in ProAudio DVDsGod Bless!

You can only record to two tracks at a time, either using two microphones or plugging directly into the machine. This unit has two built in condenser microphones which are actually pretty sweet, or you could plug in your own microphones and mic your practice space the best way to capture the entire band. This would allow you to get a live two-track stereo recording of your band which you could then mix to the right and left for the true stereo sound. It would just be a matter of trial and error as far as microphone placement is concerned to get the best sound. Good luck!

You could if you in put mic in 1 channel with balance all the way 1 direction, and then guitar in another channel with the balance all the way the other direction. You would then have 2 seperated mono recordings. Easily edited in recording software.

Hi Dawn..I'm not sure I understand... If you run left channel to left "03" input and right channel too right input of "03" you can record to "03" but seems there should be a cheaper device for recording 2 tracks out there? paul

Sorry for the delay--I had to do some testing to answer this question. As I thought, this is dependent on the operating system and your choice in recording software. I tested this on Windows 7 and I was able to use 2 USB microphones as recording devices. Both mic's were recognized. So far so good. I then tried recording using Audacity and I could NOT get Audacity to record with both mics, recording was with one or the other. Then I tried using Cakewalk--it was able to recognize 2 microphones and I could record from both--basically I had 2 tracks that recorded the voice from 2 different people using 2 different microphones. So the answer is yes but it depends on your OS and recording software. Sorry for the delay--I had to do some testing to answer this question.

Not directly. If you connect this to a mixer for studio recording, you can channel the two tracks. 1 microphone goes out on the right channel and the other goes out on the left channel. Then using your digital audio workstation, split the left and right channels into separate tracks. Boom, you can edit each voice separately.

You can use the USB to record tracks at the same time. I'm not sure about the digital in and out function, as I just use the USB.

It only records 2 tracks at a time but you can control 8 channels on a daw. Through USB midi interface. But you can only record 2 tracks at a time.

The maximum you could do is 1 mic and 1 guitar or 2 mics or 2 guitars and a midi instrument at the same time.So if you had 1 singer and 1 guitar player and a drummer playing an electronic drum kit, you could record the entire band at once. No bass player though.

Yes you can record 4 individual tracks at the same time on to your DAW pro tools or other

You can of course capture to separate tracks for each input. I'm not even sure if you could capture all inputs and mix them to stereo. Unless you record to MP3 or something.

I don't think the microphone has anything to do with that. That sounds like it's more dependant on the software used to record. Because you can record multiple people speaking at the same time on any mic.

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.
