Can these simultaneously record multiple tracks at once into the DAW through the USB via Capture or SO3 or any other DAW? If so, how many tracks simultaneously? I have searched and the answers are not clear. I understand one can multi-track via the USB and bounce to stereo to the SD card, but what I want to do is hook up all my synths + drum machines, jam live on all of them and record everything in their won track all at once which I can then edit track by track in SO3 or another DAW. Is this possible? Thanks.

Best answer

The AR series mixers can do multitrack recording when connected to a computer via USB.

AR8 does 8 channels. AR12 does 14 channels. AR16 does 18 channels

More information can be found on the StudioLive AR-Series Software Reference Manual as to Capture 2 software and Studio One centric setup and questions.

The SD card is a two-track mixdown.
