How many inputs do you need? How many phantom power channels? Recording a full band, with the drums miked?

Not enough information, OP.

Ok I am looking at this unit

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Ui12

Just about the same price as a bunch of mid level USB interfaces that do not have the ability to record 12 inputs at a time.

Or this unit for $100.00 more 16 inputs

I'm working with a worship group recording in the church. Right now I record a scratch track of the group then with the same interface Focusrite 2i4 and my laptop we record each part by itself. Drums first then Bass, Keys, Vocals.

The question is do invest in a larger unit to record multiple instruments at the same time. There isn't much explanation about the USB out working with a DAW on these boards.

So does anyone have these units or any experience with their functionality with a DAW.
