Another run on batteries with USB 2 audio/interface.
I doubt if it runs very long on 8 AA batteries. Four ways to power it.
I have no idea what that involves.
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/R88Rec Roland Unit - 8 like XLRs analog outs.
And then I suppose that means separate 8 outputs looks like, not perhaps like other units may be only 2 outs - L & R only but 4 connections.
I recommend nothing without looking at the Roland site and examining the unit.
Allthough that unit is marked 3 through 8 out where the other two are, I do not know.
I see nothing else that has that many outputs that is a portable unit like the RME UCX or now that Roland unit.
and they all cost a bunch!
No devices for power that only run on USB 2 or USB 3 or Firewire only for the audio in and out, which the RME UCX unit runs on I suppose with an external battery or like the Roland Unit with its 4 ways to power the unit.
