If I want to record from 2 sources at once I'd have to use a special cable to put one on the left channel and one on the right - and that's not ideal. If I want to record more than 2 sources I'd have to mix them into a single channel first, and then they're all stuck together. With this interface I can record with up to 8 inputs, and keep them as 8 separate tracks on my music software so it's possible to change the tracks selectively rather than all at once. I can also get digital audio in but I probably won't use that much at the moment. There's more to it than that but I can't type a lot, and you're probably already wishing you hadn't asked! ;)</p> Well, my computer has only one audio input and one output, and they take stereo mini-jacks (like on headphones).
