Thanks a lot for your answer! I do not like to waste money (and the 
resources of the earth) without at least trying to fix things first. But 
that looked like an interesting piece of gear 
https://www.thomann.de/gb/midas_mr_18.htm?ref=intl&shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6IjIiLCJsYW5ndWFnZSI6ImVuIn0%3D. 
Am I right in assuming that it can record 18 tracks simultaneously? And 
it works flawlessly under linux? Can you even utilise the built in 
effects under linux?

Any other tips for a decent replacement if I need one (perhaps slightly 
cheaper than the Midas)?

All the best!
