Hi, there's already a thread about these units. Apparently while they can record multiple simultaneous tracks in a stand alone mode as a self contained recording unit .. but used as an interface, they can only send 2 tracks at a time directly to the DAW. If you don't need multi-record of more than 2 tracks to the DAW, it should work out well. I have heard from users having a hard time with it's drivers...not sure why some have those problems while others don't, maybe a compatibility issue.
I have an R-16. It can do 8 tracks at once as an interface.
Steve, that is not what was said. The R8 records only two to the DAW, the R16 and R24 can do the 8 to the DAW. I just re-read the same thread and I think that was what was causing the confusion was the difference between the R8 and the R16, R24.

I apologize for spreading the misinformation then.
