[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Mysterio"]I need an external USB2 soundcard that has four separate line in jacks with as high a sampling rate as possible for under 200 dollars. My brief google search was not very successful. Ideally, I need to be able to record the four channels concurrently and unmixed into four separate wav files. Am I correct in assuming that this is perfectly possible? [/quote] I've had this for years and it's awesome: <a href="http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta44-main.html" target="m-audio">http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta44-main.html</a>. It's not USB, but I'm not sure why you need it to be USB. The quarter inch inputs may be a pain, but c'mon, it's time to turn pro. The downside is that there are no preamps, to you'll need powered mics or a separate preamp. I'm suddenly realizing this may be way too involved for you, but I'm unclear on a cheaper way to get 4 inputs at once, as the other budget hardware stops at 2. Look into things like this: <a href="http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB-main.html" target="sdf">http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB-main.html</a>, because "two on-board microphone/instrument preamps and high-impedance instrument inputs ideal for connecting guitars and basses" may mean that you can use all four at once. But probably not. Hopefully FoK knows. [quote]Will Adobe Audition do the job here?[/quote] Dunno, maybe, but the rest of the world uses Cubase.[/quote]
