Thanks Pieter,
do you happen to know if this is the case for the Mackie Onyx 1640?
I found something on their website about daisy-chaining two of them and
that it only works on Windows right now. Guess that's something else.. On Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:10:40 +0200

Check with the vendors first. If they support it in windows, you can
do it with FFADO too.

You should go for 24+ channels. A whole drumset is at least 8
channels, if the keyboarder isn't recording the midi, there will be
additional 2-6 channels for keys. And recording the electric
guitars clean and through amp/effects doesn't hurt either. For
acoustic guitars it is good to use at least two mics at different
distances (provided that they play in their own acoustic booth,
otherwise you are pretty much fixed on the plugin-signal). And
then you said something about singers...
The good thing about such a setup (for example with an rme-pci-card
and three adat-interfaces, or several ffado-supported firewire
interfaces) is that you get about the same number of outputs. So
you can create a lot monitor-mixes for the musicians headphones.
Have fun,
Arnold
Thanks Arnold,
I think it depends a lot on the recording technique, but I guess
having a few spare channels doesn't hurt.
Thanks for the hint with multiple firewire devices, that could be a
solution. If I remember correctly they should have the same timing
'automagically'?
