working on a pretty ambitious project. although i appreciate all genres of music, i thought it would be really challenging to make a short (4-5 song) EP of metal songs me and my friend wrote. i know what im going to do for guitars, vox and bass, but i know that like in any recording environment...

Post any tips or experiences with this audio interface. Also, how does it work, and whatnot.
