QU-16 Newbie Questions

Hi all,

Our music teacher is purchasing a QU-16 to replace some existing equipment. The QU-16 will be connected to a Windows 7 computer running the latest version of Cubase 7.

Basically all he wants to do is to be able to record from the QU-16 say 8 tracks at once and have them appear in Cubase as 8 separate tracks. Is this possible?

Also, then he wants to be able to play those 8 tracks back from the Computer and then while that is happening record another track back into Cubase. Is this possible too?

Thank you
