"That" kid.
No, that means you would have 6 additional 'LINE' input channels. You would need 6 preamps to run mics through them. A microphone needs a preamp to bring it to line level.
Cubase is a very big step up from GarageBand. As is Logic. LE will just give you the opportunity to see if the software works with your particular brain patterns. It is however limited. And free. All of the full DAW's do basically the same thing. Each one fits different people. Trying each is the only real way to know what works for you. Reaper is free to try, pay $60 if you like it. Many here do, and have great results. It just didn't work well for my crazy brain. You decide.![]()
Ah ok, that makes sense. I had a feeling I would need to use extra stuff to get it to work that way

As for Reaper or Cubase, I don't know. I think at this point I should either get the US800 and check out Cubase, but if it doesn't seem to fit that much, switch over to Reaper. But the computer I'm looking at already has Logic installed, and I'm at least familiar with it and it looks like something that would be more inclined to me.
I was also looking at getting this dude to switch out the Alesis Multimix 8 for the USB 2.0 version so I get full duplex. And if I decide to add extra mics to it I'll pick up a cheap preamp to plug into it. No software though, which is in a way kind of a bummer. My computer is slow, and it wouldn't be worth installing Cubase on it right now. I would probably be better off getting the free trial of Reaper and by then I might get a new computer with Logic.
I'm calling the person today to work this out (in the next hour or so), so any input as what to do would be appreciated
