Hello! I'm thinking about seriously upgrading my current home studio setup (Scarlett 18i8, with a Mackie 1202vlz3 mixer), replacing the Mackie with a larger board, maybe a 16 or 24 channel, and consequently I'd want to replace the interface with something that can handle more analog inputs.
Am I better off getting something like a lucid 88192, and feeding the board into that with my 18i8 so I can get 16 inputs (8 via ADAT), or getting an interface that actually has 16 inputs of its own?
I've been trying to find a really "dumb" interface with only line inputs (so I don't have to worry about preamp quality, that's why I want a mixer), but aside the Tascam 1641, I really don't seem to be able to find anything under $2500 ? I'd like to keep the interface under $500 (used is good) if possible
