I'm looking for some suggestions on interfaces to use.
I play guitar in the band, don't sing. I already own this unit,

I know it is overkill but I already own it. I do like to play in stereo so I will make use of at least 2 of the channels. Any known problems with this unit?
There are 3 other members in the band and they are all going to need interfaces, drummer, bass player who sings, other guitarist who sings.
I'm assuming a 2 channel interface would be a good choice for them, 2 channels for the drummer so he can be in stereo, 2 channels for the other two guys, one for their guitar the other for vocals.
I have a 16 channel mixer the drummer can use to mic his drums and mix that into the interface.
Any suggestions on my thought process here? Any suggestions on what interface the other 3 guys should get? The less expensive the better but I don't want to buy something so cheap it isn't going to work well.
Thanks!
Forgot to mention the bass player/backup singer uses an iMac, the rest of us use Windows.
I have been on JK about 4 months.
Using Zoom R24 Mixer with ASIO4ALL and 8 tracks available, 5 in use currently. Running Win 10 on Dell Core i7 Laptop with 2TB SSD and 16 GB RAM and 6GB video RAM
2.5 frames, 96.1khz, keep all settings as low as possible per the instructional video
Internet is 100mb fiber. Connection to JK is generally 5ms and always green. Running Cat 8 Ethernet which is expensive(used in hubs and headends at ISP's) directly to modem/router.
Latency with local Seattle musicians very favorable as in the same room with 11-25ms most of the time. Latency to NYC/LA/FL or Canada 35ms at best generally 45-75ms. Latency to UK, EU or AU has been 90-120 ms. South Ameirica 140-160 ms.
It's important to resync when someone joins the room. One person with poor latency can bring down the entire session. NO WIFI, hard wired only.
You may have to tweak and be patient. Took me a month of trial and error to dial it in, but once there, it's pretty much rolling. NOTE> Recording function useless for the last 2 weeks, in terms of upload/mix. It still will record to your local HD and you can mix and sync in a DAW on you own.
Hope this helps.
