Thanks fot the suggestion Luis Santos. I read about it but because of its 12 channel @ 96KHz I have to think about it because it's really not 24 channels I get.

I use the Tascam dm24 with the dm24 firewire 24 i/o. You are right, the price has fallen by about half since I bought mine 2 1/2 years ago. Although the mixer has be replaced by the DM32, IT is a tremendous mixer with great sound and features. I have used Tascam equipment for many years and other than Tascam's lame support nowadays, the mixer is tough to beat. Just ten years ago a mixer of this quality would probably have cost $100K. IT works great with Sonar.

The learning curve is kind of steep, but what a sound and a delight to ues if you can live without 96K sampling. The Tascam firewire card does not currently support 96k but it does support 48k 24 bit and, the card is less than 400 bucks.

If you want a meter bridge for the DM24, they are (were) very hard to find. It took me over a year to find the MU24 bridge but it does seem Tascam has released quite a few of them lately.

Anyway here is are a couple links address: http://www.vaporpark.com/invboard/index.php?s=6209068890afdac9459ce1e0747bffb3&

Hi pianodano!

Thanks for the great information! Too bad, I can really not live without 96K sampling. I read the manual and it was also very clearly stated there that it doesn't support 96KHz recording. I was not aware of this so this was great information for me!

The manual says:
"With two Tascam DM24 consoles you have the ability to run a 24-track, 24-bit 96 kHz 5.1 automated mixing environment".

This means it is able to run ONLY 12 tracks @ 96 KHz on one unit, so in that sense it is a Tascam DM12 digital mixer. In my opinion this is extreme misguidance, I go: What else should I split in half to be able to know what it truly gives?
