recording using a DAW and a multi track recorder

I am tracking drums and need more inputs than my Tascam US428 interface will allow. I am thinking of adding another two by recording simultaneously with my Korg PXR4. After I download the PXR4 tracks to my computer I will line up the wave froms on my DAW.

has anyone tried this with success or have any suggestions.
 
It depends a little on your DAW, but in principle it should work fine.

The PXR4 outputs compressed files which your DAW will need to know how to handle. And the PXR4's files are sampled at 32KHz, so your DAW will need to upsample (unless you work at 32KHz in the DAW too, but I don't think the 428 supports that sample rate.)

Also, you'll want some kind of marker at the start so you can line them up right. Something percussive and sharp, like a few drum stick hits, or clinking a glass.
 
i used to record remotely with my little fostex 8 track and then dump all the tracks into pro tools free just with an rca to 1/8" cable into the sound card and then lined them up. always had pretty good results with that after the tedium of lining up the waveforms had worn off ;)
