True. However, that does not eliminate the problem entirely.

1) One has to have a DAW with the correct digital I/O.

2) Even if one has the above, still one has to tranfer the tracks one by one. Unless you one can digitally transfer 8 tracks at the same time. Transferring stereo mix of tracks is not acceptable.

It seems to me it is both cheaper and easier to do it with a laptop.
