Question Hello, i'm gonna purchase a Behringer XENYX mixer that has USB/interface built in. I'm a drummer and I wanna record at least 6 or 7 microphones at once. Though, I have a laptop and i've read a couple of reviews saying that I will only be able to record up to 2 tracks maximum. Can you please tell em why that is? What can I do so I CAN record up to 6 or 7 tracks at once? Thanks.
Answer Hi Jake, Behinger sucks bro. If you want a real firewire mixer, go with the Mackie Onyx. Then you'll have all the I/O you'll need.
