The nice thing is that it connects to the computer via USB, but it also has an SD card slot, so you could always record "in the field" without needing to connect it to a computer. It can also switch between an additional 8 tracks within a project, for a total of 16 tracks. 8 mic preamps, separate gain and level controls, 2 built-in mics for quick demos, line-in for instrument, 2 phantom powered channels (for condenser mics), transporter (play, stop, record, forward, backward buttons), click track, mixing tools like reverb and compression, etc. I picked up a Zoom R16 a few years back and I love that thing. I found this tutorial here on how to use an Interface, and it seem pretty straight forward: Ideally I would like to simply use garage band to record, since I already have it on my Macbook. I'd like to understand better the pros and cons of each, and how to use either one. I am wondering if i should get an analog 8 channel interface, like a Tascam US 16X08, or a mixer like a Behringer Xenyx 2222 USB, or something similar. I am thinking: whatever I buy, maybe I could use also live, if we do gigs with the guitarist board, he does't have enough channel for the whole band so I could send him a mix of my kit, but that would be on rare occasions. I need phantom power for the 2 overheads. I have an AKG Drumset Session pack plus an SM57 for the snare. My biggest kit is a 6 piece plus 2 overheads, so I would need 8 xlr channels minimum. I am using a recent MacBook Pro with up to date OS X. Now, I have ZERO exprience with recording, so please explaing to me like I am 5. This is not for professional recording, just for fun.
I have some drums, and microphones (that I use for gigs), and I am a bit bored at the moment, so I thought: why not get my hands at recording my drums, make drum covers etc.
