AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES.

As I wait to get the XV-5050 repaired and collect the Behringer to test it out, I had a new question. Do they make audio interface devices that also record to .WAV right there in the box and let me take the song out with a USB stick or something? I figure they do, but I haven't come across one yet.

With some of these audio interfaces seeming to have driver issues with Windows, I figured it was worth asking about. Thank you!

Actually, as far as audio interfaces, not really, but field recorders do it.

This takes XLR, though (mic cables), so you might need a converter as well.

A good suggestion! Didn't look specifically for field recorders, so that I'll go hunting for. Thanks dude.

Well, as this Summer so far (as in just the last five weeks) has cost me $1,300 in car repair, $800 in misc expenses, and I'm still owed a couple thousand from work, needless to say I never did pick any of this up and probably won't be able to get it anytime soon except as a Christmas present , so I think trying to go for a Focusrite Saffire 2i2 is going to be out.

The only other audio interface I see for a doable price (under $100) is the Behringer UMC202HD or UMC204HD, where I see it, that one has comparable ratings to Focusrite stuff. Has anyone used this one or could vouch for it as a quality, clean audio interface to record some romplers into?
