That SMART guy.
You can't...
I think. You mean, for example, they say it's an eight-track recorder and it has only 2 inputs, right? Well, the real deal is that you can play back 8 tracks at the same time, but only record 2 tracks at the same time.
Make sure you check the number of tracks you can record simultaniously... For example, my VS1880 can record 8 tracks at the same time, but there's a total of 18 tracks I can play at the same time... This is ok if you record on your own, and just do everything in overdubs. It sucks if you want to do a live recording with more than 8 tracks. Simply because you can't... (But I don't care all that much since I haven't got 8 mics.
