I find this M-Track unit works great with my Mac - recording bass and guitar directly into Garageband. I only have been recording one instrument at a time, so I didn't have a need for the 4 inputs that the Behringer unit has.

I use this device for the lauchkey25 mini controller and my laptop to connect to my Behinger 16 ch mixer

it has lots of effects and all work just as listed, I am using it for live vocals and recording mixed output. I have not yet used that software yet. I may need to experiment with the software before answering your questions further. You should check behringer website for more options, behringer has vast collection of mixers for all kind of mixing. I will try to answer your questions soon.

As far as sound quality goes, its awesome. The part where it lags is on on muliti track recording. I say this because you can't record seperate tracks individually like you can on a digital recorder. You can run 6 drum mics, guitar cab, bass, and vocals and whatever else in simultaneously and be fine but they are all going yo be down to left or right channels. You can go back and add overbubs with no problem but if you everything on its own channel so you can go back in and protools it, its not gonna be so easy. But for what I use it for it is an awesome unit and I highly recommend it for recording practices and shows. If you are trying to make a good HQ demo, get a tascam or something similar.

Mine came with Studio One 2. Which is an absolutely amazing DAW. I am producing sounds I got out of Pro Tools for so much less $$$. I love the AudioBox. And I really really love Studio One 2!!!! I have gotten other people trying it and they love it too. Better than Pro Tools and as easy as GarageBand. Unlimited tracks, plugins and buses. It's pretty awesome. 2 inputs for mic/guitar

Are you asking about to connect something to a DAW through a computer? If I am responding correctly, I use an M-Audio Fast Track. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401602,00.asp If I can answer better or if you are asking for something else/more, let me know!

You can use this in the studio as well as live.. but honestly, with the amount of software available, you have way better options for studio purposes. For live its ok.. but not "great." Hope this helps.

I have been able to monitor that way, but usually get a recording of the first track (at a lower level) bleeding into the second track when I monitor. I am going to try a "work around" with my mixing board first in line (after the mics) into the Tascam, then into the iPad.I got it working well by patching the headphone out into a small stereo to boost the levels for monitoring, and then using headphones plugged into the stereo.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

AWESOME! Your clarification on the capabilities of this unit seals the deal for me. I just wanted to make CD copies of the music I already have previously recorded on mini-disc. For some reason, I could never get my Net MD recorder (and software) to go from mini-disc, to computer, to CD OR back to another mini-disc(?). Mp3's are OK, but I prefer using CDs/MDs for their sound. MD rules for me for it editing capability, and now I'm willing to go with the MZ-M200 for it's features. Thanks again for the help and the link to the manual!

I feel you! The Tascam will be better if you plan to do all mixing on the one unit. In my case the R24 was better because its more compact lighter and ultimately I finish my mixes in pro tools. R24 gives me enough to mix on the move but for stationary recordings Tascam may be the better option with the nice screen. Good Luck! Either way you shouldn't be disappointed.

Sounds like your new to the world of DAW...Digital Audio Workstation...This 1 is pretty good for the price, and Sony gives you a choice between some nice sounds in different musical genres for free downloading. But then you can buy them from Sony too. Remember that its meant for a musician in mind. You just don't hit a couple of buttons and out pops a song.... Good luck and I hope I got your question answered.

To start, try a free software like Virtual Dj to know if you like to djing.After you should buy an Hercules Instinct to start because It's user-friendly and easy to use.After understanding and used a lot your Hercule Instinct, I suggest you to buy another controller like Hercules RMX 2, Pioneer is like Apple, you pay a lot for what you get. Hope It's will be useful! ;)

It's very good for a home radio studio. This equipment can do all that you are currently asking( You can Cue Tracks and will also be able to run it through a mixer). Best of of it all, you can Map it in your favourite DJ software to play all your tracks. Hope this helps

Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about. The cheap AT cans I take with me to monitor ENG interviews are just as good as my BeatsPro for that application. They fall apart when compared in a studio mixing setting where I expect to hear all of the frequencies with no distortion. Beats are known for low end response so they rock for hip-hop/rap/funk. I listen to a lot of film score and jazz on them too. Again, its tough for me to say with certainty that BeatsPros are superior to AT headphones as my AT's cost less than $50 and are for a very specific use. I am btw an AT user for microphones and am a fan of their quality. Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about.

I use the JML2 as a sample player exclusively. I do no looping. I am a singer/guitar player who uses the unit to start and stop backing tracks with my foot. Left = click ~ Right = tracks. Aside from the archaic procedures and limitations to maneuver the software when loading audio into the unit; (it cannot be read as an external drive without the quirky "JamManager" software which is cumbersome), it is a solid unit. I needed stereo so I can only say it's better than the Solo XT due to that fact.

I can't say for sure which mixer is better but I have had excellent results from the Yamaha MG16XU. It has worked flawlessly and we have even had some gigs where it rained and the board got wet and the table it was on blown over. I just wiped it down, let it dry out, and it is back in business. I think the Yamaha rocks!
