Our church is in the process of purchasing new equipment, so I thought I would explore the possibility of moving from analog to digital. In the past, I mixed on this
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/products/mixers/pm1d/index.html
and really enjoyed the flexibility and options that the board had. I know that we will not be able to afford that, but was looking at something like this
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/01V96/
My question is, what would I need to get to expand this to 32 channels? I have no idea how the cards/channels/pre-amps work on these.
If I got something like this:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AD96Cable/ and http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MY8AD96/
Would I still need pre-amps for the extra channels?
I like the idea of going digital because everything would come in the box. Besides those pieces, what would I need to get up and running for a digital console, not including amps and loudspeakers?
I guess I could go the route of getting something like this
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LX7ii-32/
but then I'd need to get more outboard gear for effects.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
