i was recently given acopy ofmagix music studio 2005 deluxe. (yes, i know its outdated, but thats not the point). i know i can use up to 24 tracks with it. what i dont know is when i hook it up to my mixing board will i be able to record multiple parts at the same time? for example will i be able to record my bass with both a di and mic on seperate channels, or will it go to just one? please be gentile, im brand new to recording. any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks again

None of the Music Maker products are multi-track I/O (input/output)... so, it isn't the age of the product, its just not something the Music Maker was ever designed to do. What you can do with the Music Maker is record a single track, then do a playback while recording another track, you can keep doing that over and over, but, know that you would have to have a computer system and sound card that can support full duplex or playback and recording simultaneously.

MAGIX does made Multi-Track recording software, it is called Samplitude. www.samplitude.com. There is also a consumer version called Samplitude Producer & Samplitude Music Studio, bit these only allow a 8 I/O even though the product supports 32 or more tracks. The professional versions support 32 I/O and beyond.

So, in short... the mix you record will just go to one track.
