Give the Allen & Heath ZED R16 a look. 16 mic and line inputs on ever channel, plus ADAT and the stereo master all can be sent to the computer over FW for a total of 26 I/O. I prefer the is over the Mackie 1620 and 1640 since you can route to the master channel and not have to use up one of the 16 mixer channels for stereo playback of the daw. It also is a control surface as well with 12 assignable knobs, 4 assignable faders in addition to the 16 channel faders that can also be used to send midi data, transport controls and a few other assignable buttons. Not motorized faders and no jog wheel though. No HUI support though so you would need the Bones Midi translator program to use it to control pro tools. A&H provides you with templates for all major DAW’s including pro tools and all the set up info you need.Oh and its an analog console you can run your mixes through as well instead of having to use something like slate VCC.
