For drum recording when using the USB out will it separate my 8 tracks that I recorded IN so i can mix and edit all 8 tracks separately in post?

Yes. You can. However, I wouldn't recommend using this interface. It's hit or miss. It could last forever or be DOA I went threw 3 of these units. All malfunctioned, and Tascam support is horrible. Good luck either way.

Sorry mate, but no. To do this, you will have to do a setup like I had for a while where I used Audacity to record my mixes. Its easy, its free, and very very nice software; and it works great with VirtualDJ

you can record 16 separate tracks in and listen to 4 tracks out all at the same time, depending on how you configure cubase. Also the "separate" monitor out is just 1 and 2 with a volume knob up front. Dose that answer your question?

All this is very true. I solved the problem by going to a Cannon. I don't always have the ability to record an seperate audio track. In studio I can. I use Pinnacle 18 as my editing tool so a seperate channel is no problem! I wish you luck. I will stick to Cannon!

It'll take any analog audio signal in XLR form and convert it to digital (that's why it's bulky around the USB connector part). Beware, though, this product adds a bit of noticeable hiss and noise to your signal, so you might not want to use it for a final mix if you're outputting from a mixer.

Yeah, I guess, but it seems overly complicated, and unnecessary. I'll assume you want to track both the USB signal, and once you go through all that stereo adapter business, your gonna run it into the computers headphone/mic input? Then you have to convince your computer to record both the USB signal, and the now degraded signal coming from the 1/4" TS to 1/8" TRS Y adapter input simultaneously. If you can do it than you can do it but why not simply duplicate the stereo USB tracks in your DAW?

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

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!

For most uses it's got 8 inputs (XLR or 1/4" combo jacks). The rest are ADAT, S/PDIF, and virtual inputs I believe, but since I don't ever use those I'm not sure how to use them yet. All inputs can be routed to separate tracks. You assign the track input number in your DAW.2 Mic/Line/Inst Combo XLR (Inputs 1 and 2)6 Mic/Line Combo XLR (Inputs 3-8)

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.

Absolutely, no problem. Record the click track on its own channel, and route it separately through your mixer to the headphones. Another way which would save one track would be to record over a click track using the rhythm section and route it separately. You can actually run 4 separate mono tracks by panning main and subs each left and right.

I have been recording for years but - I was the guy saying can you give me another track for this or that. Never touched the buttons and my friend has a vast system so have been intimidated to start on my own. Can you create a mix and bump 3+ tracks down to 1 line then have extra tracks open to add more?

You can only record 2 tracks simultaneously but you can mix down up to 8 tracks.

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

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

Only two analog inputs, can play 8 track simultaneous. You can control your DAW software through USB bus.

Of course you can. Simply hit the record button (top left ). Remember to name your recording before pressing record . You can easily mash 2 tracks together that mix well and record them to be a new track/remix.
