I already have all the software working using the motherboard audio interface and have been using it to record stuff for a few months. But I can only do two mono tracks or one stereo track at a time - a painfully slow process. I have looked around for an interface with more inputs and find they vary from around Â80 to Â3000 or more. The Audiogram 6 is within my budget, I don't want to spend more than that. The descriptions on the vendor websites for this and similar units in this price bracket don't mention simultaneous recording on multiple tracks and as far as I can tell they are just a kind of mixer, and can only record one track at a time (on any OS). Is that true? If so, what kind of interface do I need?
