You can record all tracks separately using overbridge and the Digitakt app. There’s a little tape icon that lets you monitor and capture all 8 audio tracks and the 2 incoming stereo tracks. It save all the wav file in a folder that you choose. I didn’t see you mention what hardware you had so idk if that helps

What is the Digitakt App? Never heard of this? Is this something official from Elektron?
Ahh, this one that comes with Overbridge. Understood!

Yes it’s the standalone version of the plugin. No need for a daw. @DaveMech has a video on it

Well, any DAW (just like any instrument) is going to come with some degree of learning curve with it, but spend an hour or so with any online tutorial and you should be fine,. I’m an on/off Ableton user and setup has always been painless for me.
It should be easy for Elektron to extend this Digitakt App to do multitrack recording.
I might add a feature request 
Come on thats a bit of an exaggeration… I’m on my laptop all day for work (Pro Tools) and most evenings (Max/Ableton) and literally none of these things are ever an issue
That is fair comment - email and internet is the creativity abyss.
In an ideal world I’d turn the wi fi off when trying to be productive but it’s increasingly difficult.
I still use bitwig or audacity to finish the process but this is definitely my favourite way to capture the audio from my hardware
Those things are euphemisms for porn.
Didn’t you get the memo?

Is Audacity capable to do multitrack recording? Does it support Overbridge?
12 tracks are available when the DT is the audio source and overbridge is on. I’m not sure if you can record all of them at once though.
You can easily do the setup in Ableton, save this as a template set, then all you ever have to do is open Ableton, and hit record. What could be simpler? Then turn the screen off and jam.

The best way is to just use the Overbridge standalone app.
You can hit Record and forget about it… and it’ll record the Master mix and the individual tracks direct to a folder that you can either remix later or just upload straight to Soundcloud/Bandcamp, etc.
That’s the best way to work with Elektron devices IMO, it doesn’t feel like you’re working on a computer.

I use a Tascam Model 12 and it works good. I midi sync using the clock out from the Tascam and I do multiple passes recording each track.
I have nothing against having a computer to do this task it’s only that I have fun doing it this way.

I checked the thread but didn’t see it mentioned (apologies if I missed it) - might help with any recommendations - what are you planning on doing with the stems, if you’re not using a DAW?
i.e. even if you don’t want to use a DAW as part of your music making process, if the intent is to bring the stems into one to master them later than it still makes sense to capture them there and avoid the additional faff. I (normally) capture my recordings in Ableton but I don’t look at the screen once during my sessions - I could turn the monitor off - the computer isn’t part of that process and isn’t able to provide any sort of distraction. I can just as easily hook up a recorder to my mixer, but I’d be importing that into Ableton later to master anyway so if at home I cut out the middleperson.
If you don’t plan to use a DAW at all my question would be what the point of stems is, maybe there’s another recommendation that could be useful.

Just get a Tascam DP-24 they are cheap as hell.
You may want to take a look here:
It’s a solution for model:cycles and samples that uses a computer, but not DAW. The developer looks like he wants to support more devices, but maybe he’s not considering DT because of overbridge ?
