Hi all,<br><br>Here in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, we`re making an studio in <a href="http://www.circovoador.com.br/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">circo voador</a> where there will be research and free lessons of áudio production on linux. And we also want to record our shows in 24 separated channels.<br>

<br>I`m now searching for the best áudio hardware configuration for us.<br><br>The biggest problem, is that here in Brazil we pay a lot of taxes importing audio equipament, what makes it very very expensive and give us few options o choose.<br>

<br>So, what I want to ask is if you guys could suggest me a nice and cheap configuration to record 24 channels at 24/48khz on ardour.<br><br>I was thinking in something like: RME hdsp 9652 + 3 behringers ada 8000 connected via optical adat.<br>

<br>is that an ok configuration (that works)?<br>does someone use it?<br>there&#39;s something better then the ada 8000 in this price range?<br><br>thanks a lot for your patience!<br><br>Surian<br>
