Hello thread, quick (sort of related) question. I'm working for a cultural association and we do a few shows a month, and we're thinking of improving our lovely mixer to something that is actually useful. It has come down to a choice between the XR18 and the Soundcraft UI16. I've worked with both before, hate both their lovely interfaces whatever, but didn't have much time to explore the UI16 and there's something I can't really figure out online. Is it possible to get a multitrack recording with it, through usb using the rack as an interface? I know it is possible with the XR18, and we like to record our shows as best as possible, so I'm leaning towards it (also it has more outs which is cool).

Cool OP, OP, been working for 5 years and I've learned many good things. One amazing tip I got from a greek technician: always beware of someone without talent, they will invariably be the ones to give you grief. And the opposite is also true, the "best" musicians, the ones with the most passion for what they're doing, will always be the most easy going and helpful people you can meet.
