when i'm not recording or making music, i am generally running linux. i know there's no linux support for the 8pre, but can i just use it as a dumb mixer (analog-to-digital converter?) if it's not plugged into my computer? i'd like to be able to just plug in a bunch of instruments and jam without ha...

i'm just got my 8pre yesterday and i guess i'd call myself a total noob, so please don't get mad if my questions are noobish. anyway, the first thing i did when i got my 8pre was to try to record using a 1/4" stereo plug. the input comes from a bad tape boombox, so i have to use a 1/8" to ...
