Were you using the bundled cubase LE? Some websites have LE as only able to do 4 at once. A sweetwater rep emailed me in response to this very question that the current Cubase LE can do 8....

Hello people, this is my first post. I am getting gear up to start my home recording studio in a spare bedroom. I do not have a band.. its just me recording each track at a time

Well, right now I am just using my computer's soundcard (Creative Soundblaster Live! Platinum) line input to hook up my old Tascam 4-track tape recorder. I am getting a condenser microphone (MXL 990) and if the sound was not good, I suspect that with the new mic its going to stink.

Is anything wrong with just using my soundcard for my "solo" recordings or should I get a dedicated PCI or Firewire audio interface?
I've been looking in the low budget ones and I found mixed reviews about the Firebox. A guy at GuitarCenter told me i should get the Mackie Onyx. I definitely would need the phantom power for my mic.

Any recommendations? I want a nice clean sound buut I don't need many tracks. 2 to 4 is more than enough for me I guess.

I appreciate your help. Thanks
