I want to upgrade from recording our band rehearsals with 1 mic, and start di-ing everything into a digital recorder,

2 guitars, 1 bass, 2 vocals and a mic on the drums, 6 simultaneous inputs.

and being able to mix/eq a little before burning a cd.

new or used $250 ish,

which one??
 
hmm, i was meaning a stand alone recorder, but if that Tascam US 1800 is pretty easy to connect to my mac/garage band id be interested.
 
i just read this about the r16,

"the Hi-Z switch for channel 1 accommodates a guitar or bass. The R16 is ready for any kind of input source"

does this mean i cant record 2 guitars and a bass guitar at the same time?

never mind i found this


For people recording direct guitars (I've got that sick feeling in my stomach like I've just watched a “Feed the Children” commercial), line level is not ideal. This is because of the relatively high output impedance of electric guitars. They just don't mate well with plugging straight into preamps. Guitar amps and pedals generally have much greater input impedances than mixers and preamps do. So, Hi-Z inputs started showing up on audio interfaces, preamps, etc. The idea is to give the guitar a load that it's used to seeing (and therefore make it sound the way you are used to hearing it).
