OVERALL OPINION

Freshly global opinion (and fast!) received through WoodBrass,
I take from 1 January for an initial good resolution:
Music-to get back into:

I was wondering if it was really possible to record a full song
on a laptop equipped with a USB sound card?

The answer is YES: The Tascam US-144MKII permitting!
Catch recording of the song are done with the course Tascam
and a laptop Acer Aspire 2920Z

the pleasant surprise: The Tascam Steinberg Cubase comes with 5 (and not 4!) LE version.
Nickel! (Installation a bit tedious with all the permissions etc but it will, once done, it's cushy)

First I start by recording the drum tracks (1 stereo track):
I turned my old drum machine Boss DR550 MKII
synchro noon with the supplied Cubase LE 5 and TASCAM US-144MKII:
OK, no problem.

Then I record a guitar track on a witness = OK

I then tracks the songs:
2 leads (each mono) = OK
Chorus 4 (mono each) for the chorus: 2 tracks (chorus son of) + 2 tracks refrain myself = OK

Then comes the bass (1 mono track) = OK

A guitar right (one mono track) and a guitar on the left (mono too)

1 track for stereo guitars part called "solo".

Although they are not all filled in the same instand specific
I end up with 11 or 12 tracks running = Ok, no bug

Then I'm mixing on a PC tower (Pentium 4 Prescott)
cubase via another 5 and a sound card pci EMU0404.

Knowing that I also tested the mix (with effect!) With the Tascam instead of EMU and is ditto.
What is amazing is that even when I disconnect the Tascam USB port
the EMU takes the hand alone ...

Conclusion: Good small mobile product.
The knobs seem fragile, but the box itself is sturdy.
He lacks nothing, I urge (not too expensive and more! Paid toll at Woodbrass 3X)
