Mixer question (reassurance), I need an answer within an hour! please!

[loudyouth]

Just to confirm it the Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 8-Channel Mixer makes 8 seperate tracks (for ex.: 4 mics (need preamps) plugged into the xlr inputs, drums(already mixed into one channel), bass, and 2 guitars) and a final 2 stereo tracks for right and left.

by the way this question probably seems really stupid

also THANKS to everyone who helped me so far

In what way do you mean "makes 8 separate tracks"?

Mixers normally take multiple inputs and mix them to a stereo L/R track - are you asking if you can use this device as a recording interface and pass all 8 tracks directly through to your PC as individual tracks, not actually mixed?

If so, I'd be surprised if it did, but I'm not a mixer / PC recording guy, so I'm just guessing.

OK - so I can see that people who know more about this than I do have given you the answer you were looking for...

Why are you asking again?
