Gah, I want an 8-track. With Cubase I get a delay and it makes anything over a single track impossible.

Or I could just get a reel-to-reel tape recorder and do it old skool style. :>

it's down to the drivers on the soundcard. I've got an Edirol (or something like that) usb box which runs with hideous latency using the normal drivers but is really bloody useful with Cubase when using the ASIO drivers.

This is to the point where I can record a raw clean audio track while passing back the same signal going through a couple of VST plugins into the box's outputs, so i can for instance hear a distorted guitar through the Guitar Rig plugin but be recording a clean track. All without noticable latency, and i'm not talking mega laptop either. I've done the same thing even on my old pile of crap. Get a decent soundcard with ASIO drivers and you'll be laughing.

alternatively i could flog you my 8 track digital recorder if you're interested? ;)

also, hardware 8 track records have the added benefit of not having to compete with lots of fan noise, especially when recording quiet guitar and vocal stuff.
