TIA

P.S. If the above works it looks like I'll be getting:

1) Upgrade to 2020 BIAB w/RealBand
2) Zoom R8 (with built in audio interface)
3) Audio Technica AT2020 Cardioid Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone



Yes. The Zoom R8 is an Audio Interface. There's no need to purchase a separate interface. It is a good quality interface and is similar in quality to any other interface in the price range. Because it operates on battery power, it works great as a field recorder. It also has phantom power for the condenser mic you're purchasing.

It's also a midi controller for DAW's such as Reaper, Sonar, Studio One and any other DAW with Mackie Control.
