question
Would there be any issues using a Y cable to send audio to headphones as one of the outputs?
This is a passive unit. The outputs are not designed to drive headphones (or speakers for that matter). But you can easily DIY a headphone amp with an old stereo receiver, mixer, or something similar. Or buy the Big Knob Studio, which provides 2 headphone outs.

Will this record through USB to 4 separate channels? What exactly does 2x4 when referencing USB mean? I am NOT referencing the analog inputs/outputs, ONLY how it relates SPECIFICALLY to USB.
The 2x4 means this interface will send 2 channels (Left and Right ) to a recording program for recording, and will return 4 playback channels for monitoring. This will only record 2 tracks at one time.
