I'm considering buying protools M powered 7 for my home computer. My band rehearses in the basement and I want to be able to make live recordings down there, (we're talking at least 11 microphones). I understand that I need an M-Audio hardware interface. I'm trying to figure out which one I need but I can't seem to find one with 16 simultaneous analog inputs. There are some that claim to have like 32 inputs and there are 2 XLR jacks and then like 4 stupid midi inputs that each represent 8 midi channels or something. I don't want to put any mics through a mixer that isn't on the computer. I want to hit record, have the band play a song, and find a track for every microphone in the room. I'm just looking for an interface that can do this for as cheap as possible. I don't care about effects or virtual tracks or anything, just 16 xlr inputs and a connection to my computer. please help!
