Morning Shim Scott Tony etc
I have just decided a different approach, to improve my recording both studio and live, I've just sold both my Alesis multimix 8 mixers my Zoom H2 and replaced them with a Zoom R16 which acts as a 8/16 channel mixer, records 8 channels simultaeously, acts as audio interface and worksurface for your PC/DAW, an all-round clever dick.
The results will hopefully be posted soon, I only got it yesterday so it may be some time.
Fingers crossed

Regards
