Default Can USB 2.0 support 16 simultaneous tracks?

Hi all, just joined this is my 1st msg. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with USB audio interfaces - I'm lookin at one with 16 simultaneous inputs and that sounds like a lot for usb to handle (I know they're s'posed to be 80 mbps FASTER than FW but...)

That would be a USB 2.0 audio interface, right?

16 simultaenous inputs isn't that big of deal for USB 2.0 or Firewire. My Presonus Firestudio can handle 26 simultaneous inputs with no trouble. Go for it!

Hi BrandonDrury,
Yep, it's usb 2.0 - thanks for the response, puts my mind at ease. I've had a hell of a time finding an answer to this question: sales guys were either cagey or just trying to tell me what they thought I wanted to hear, and as for write-ups & such on the web, well, you never know who is actually writing those (could be the manufacturer you're lookin to buy from).

So, thanks v much for this site & forum

In the HomeRecording.com forum "soundcard" thread, there are a few using the Tascam 1641 USB 2.0
One guy mentioned analog 13 tracks, no problem. his thoughts post

I'm interested in pickup up the Alesis Multimix 8 USB2.0 (under $400) ... maybe by the fall
There is also the Alesis Multimix 16 usb2.0 (not sure $$$)
