I recently purchased ProTools and entered the world of PC recording, been using stand-alone's for years, a Tascam 2488neo and an old-school Boss BR-8 before that. With the BR-8, I would record "finished" songs through a old-school stereo interface onto my computer for "mastering" with Sound Forge- an old Lexicon Core-2 interface when I had Windows 98, then up-graded to an M-Audio Delta Series interface when I got XP. When I got the Tascam, I only used the interface for monitoring, since the Tascam could simply import finished songs onto the PC.
Pretty cut and dry stuff. So here's my issue;
A few years ago, I got Windows 7, and needed a new interface for monitoring again. Picked up a Steinberg UR22, and it works great for monitoring. But now that I've moved on to ProTools, I'm back to having to use the inputs on the interface, for recording and tracking, obviously. Picked up a new, stronger/faster PC for ProTools, Windows 7 again, and still use the Steinberg UR22 since it is fairly new.
Occasionally, I like to record lead guitar in stereo. After fumbling around a bit and doing some research, it seems the UR22 does not record in stereo. Even though it has two inputs, it only uses them as two separate mono sources. So I'm doing more research on what interfaces actually have two inputs act as a stereo inputs like my two old-school ones did. I do my guitar tracks with an effects board (Digitech) and it has stereo outs (R & L). Again, this is only for the occasional stereo lead track, my rhythms are always mono.
After doing research online, I'm not getting definitive answers on whether or not the interfaces I'm looking at can record in stereo. I'm actually looking at the Tascam US-16x8, as I will be recording some live drums soon. But the main concern is if it, or any other interface, can record in stereo, as my UR22 does not.
Any help? And thanks for reading
