This new computer i will be getting says it will have an 8-Channel (7.1) High Definition Audio. Is that any good?
 
1. - Is it an onboard sound card???
2. - What is the motherboard???
3. - Are you building it???

Depends. Are we talking about onboard audio? Is the computer you're talking about prebuilt (i.e. is it a brand-name desktop e.g. Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway,...)? For general usage like music listening & such and even home theatre it should be good enough, but for hardcore gaming or professional Audio Editing it won't cut it.

its from gateway actually, pre built in. They boast that it has a great audio card of course, since they want to make a sell.

i was thinking of doing some recording on it. Will it not cut?

"Some Recording" and "Professional Audio Editing" are two entirely different things. If you're doing YouTube blogs, amateur composing, or anything you do not get paid for it should be good enough. If, however, your job depends on it, no, it will *not* cut it.
