Well you use a tascam DA-6400 with two 16 ch AES cards with nice converters with AES i/o unless you want to go dante and remote patching by a tablet becomes a possibility and opens the door up to a wider good but low priced interfacing like the $200 danteAVIO 2Ch adaptersi have the mackie 24.8 8 bus mixer, a guy said alesis hd24 will interact with my mackie, but a mix review of the alesis says" it doesnt allow multiple track takes" what does this really mean? you mean i cant record 8 drum tracks at the same time as the drummer bangs away one performance of a song? anyone know about the alesis hd24 and familiar with it? i like real gear real mixers and rack units so i want to bypass computers also, can anyone recommend anything to record on hard disk 24 tracks that will interact with analog mackie board? tired of my da88 tapes getting chewed up....
Edit: The correct way to muti track patch is direct out from each track, plus the direct buss outputs and multi track return to mix B. I'm sorry to inform you that I don't know why the mix review guy is oblivious to how the application of non-linear recording works with hard disk recorders.
