Here’s the most basic information I’d need to start thinking about recommendations:

- Total budget (for all equipment, treatment, computers, software, etc…). How much do you want to spend total?

- Is this a single-room or multiple room setup (i.e., is the control room separate from the live room, are there any additional booths/iso, etc.)?

- How many simultaneous inputs would you want at one time (i.e. a 2 track setup, 8 track, 48 track, etc…)

One thing to note is that the Digidesign Control24 and C24 are NOT interfaces, they are just preamps and control surfaces.

If you are really serious about doing this setup from start to finish, I could post a separate thread on it, and we could make a big post out of it. (You can also email me. My email is located in the “About” tab at the top of the page)

Thanks
