Questions before I buy the v-studio 20

As I mentioned in another post, I am planning on buying this Friday.  However after reading other posts it sounds like it is very basic.  My recordings are pretty basic, but I use Sonar Home Studio now and I want to be sure the v-studio 20 would work for me.  In a nutshell, here's what I do when I record:
 
1 - guitar tracks (2 rhythm, 1 to 2 lead tracks)
2- drum tracks (either with a drop and drag program or a drum machine)
3- Bass track (can I use a bass guitar with this?)
4- Keyboards (occassionally plug in and use a keyboard with a 1/4" jack)
5- Vocals (1 or 2 leads, 2 or more backing)
6- Effects (I have plugins I use for compression, delays, phasers, etc)
7- Editing (I cut and paste, cut out unwanted sounds, adjust the levels, etc.)
8- Mastering (more compression and final mastering)
9- Burn CD (into mp3 or wav files).
 
Can I do all this with the v-studio 20?  Thanks for the help!

    Hi there,
     
    First, keep in mind that the V-Studio 20 is a stereo USB audio interface only - this means you can only record up to two tracks at a time. You can record up to 32 audio tracks with the included Guitar Tracks software.
     
    You should take a look at the V-Studio 20 product information pages on our site here for a more in-depth look at everything Guitar Tracks has to offer. As a quick answer, you should be able to do everything on your list.
