I use this rack for mobile recording of my R&B band. 16 tracks at a time. That is a 19" calzone 20-space rack case with shockmount.
I like the 1604 VLZ Pro but I had one with my band and it died. Warranty was out. We bought an allen and Heath Mixwizard 3 16-2 and it sounds sooooo much better and has 16 direct outs as well as inserts. Unless you're running sound as well as recording, you don't need a mixer. Just get some pres or A/D converters to put in front of your interface. Something like an RME 9652 and 3 behringer ADA8000 s will give you 24 channels. Many 16 channel mixers are rackmountable so you an get ears and get one of those racks with a slant rack top.
