Hi Zuki, I have a spanking brand new Tascam 32SD which I bought on a whim on a MF SDOTD. I even bought the remote footswitch for it. Tried it for a couple of hours and quickly decided that I much preferred computer multi-track recording. I use an Alesis I/O26 which with my two 8ch ADAT units and my 20ch digital mixer with SPDIF I/O gives me a total of 34 inputs into REAPER. System is old but crystal clear and works flawlessly. It's complimented with tons of VST's, VSTi's, etc. for very sophisticated sound processing.
As I recall, Tascam left off some of the 24's features when they produced the '32. Most old experienced Tascam users seemed to prefer the DP24 to the DP32 and suddenly the '24 became very hard to find, so you're very lucky to get one. Good luck with it. They're all easy to use once you get used to them and develop your own workflow around them.
