I'm just guessing here, but I doubt the TBSC can record both inputs at
once. You may have to go mono outs of both the QS8 and TD7 into *one*
stereo input of the TBSC, unless the TD7 has an aux input that you can
send the QS8 into. Or get a small mixer to feed the TBSC from.

Sometimes you have to ask all the right questions in all the right
places and filter out the wrong answers (not just the ones you don't
want to hear). But this is difficult when it comes to things like
this. However, if you can hear both sources (how?) it's likely that
the card has an internal mixer. Turtle Beach did things like that, and
they have built four-channel cards in the past. I've lost track of
what they've been doing for the past half dozen or more years.

What the heck is KRISTAL Audio? A program, I guess. Try a different
program. Sometimes it's just not worth spending too much time getting
something to work. Audacity is nice and it's free. It records and edits.

How does Windows see your sound card? Does it look like two audio
devices, or one? If it's two, then you should indeed be able to record
the two separate stereo inputs independently. First try to get
anything working, then you can start figuring out what it can and
can't do.

the Santa Cruz _will_ record 4 channels at once (assuming you have the
latest WDM drivers -- there were problems with earlier versions).

but you have to configure the "versa jack" for line-in 3/4 in the Santa Cruz
mixer, and also setup the Windows mixer so that the "line-in" is selected as
the "recording device" and "aux" is selected as "other" > "second analog
record". windows will open separate mixer windows for "record control" and
"second analog record", and the proper devices must be checked under the
volume fader.

there is a description of this process in their on-line documentation.
