Hi Omar,
I have an old Fostex 8 track Hard Drive Studio and it's very easy to use due
to the fact, all of the necessary controls are physical switches and knobs.
As you know, most recorders these days are screen based and not accessible,
plus, they seem to be designing more multitrack recorders with studio
bouncing in mind with only 2 inputs to record too.
I had a look on the net, and may have found a system that may just possibly
be accessible for live situations.
I must stress, I haven't physically seen one of these systems.
I've placed details below.
Around $330 is the Fostex MR8HD 8-Track Digital Recorder.
The Fostex MR8HD 8-Track Digital Recorder records to an internal 40GB drive
for more than 15 hours of 8 track digital recording at CD quality
(16-bit/44.1kHz).
The simple and intuitive operation inherited from the Fostex MR-8 recorder
is enhanced by features like 4-track simultaneous recording, push-dial
button
for easy menu operation, full-track bouncing to a new song, and a USB Host
function for external CD burning. The Fostex digital recorder has a USB port
for stereo WAV file-transfer between the unit and a PC. Built-in digital
effects including reverb and delay, and guitar amp and microphone
simulations.
Dedicated analog guitar distortion knob, S/PDIF digital out for digital
mastering, and twin headphone outs give you added control and versatility.

Is there a way to do this without using a laptop or sonar? Are there
any devices that will let me do this without a laptop?

Hi Omar,
This may not be of any help what so ever. I can explain how to do it old
School style.
I do apologise if I'm stating the obvious.
You will need a mixer with at least 3 sets of stereo bus channels, bus
channel 3 being your stereo master bus channel.
A: assign the microphone signal and all instrument signals to stereo bus
channel 3 plus all the necessary effects for your front of house mix.
B: Assign all instruments except vocal microphone to stereo bus channel
2,
these may be wet or dry depending on how you wish to record.
c: assign vocal Microphone to stereo bus channel 1, again, this may be
wet
or dry.
Now take the cables from Stereo busses 1 and 2, connect them to Channels
1-2-3-4 on the recording system: if you are recording to Sonar, you will
need a sound card or mixer with at least four mono inputs.
Not yet used to thinking virtual and there's possibly now better ways of
recording live performances.
Hope this has been of some help.

Hello,
How would my setup need to run during a live gig if I want to record
the
vocals from live performances separate from the music?
Thanks.
