I've been giving a lot of thought lately to retiring my old analog mixer (an old Phonic) and upgrading to a decent control unit/interface. I'm mostly doing computer recording nowadays anyway (but will keep my mixer and tape deck handy "just in case..."), and figure an upgrade would be beneficial to me, both in quality, and ease-of-use. The thing is, I've never researched these before, so no absolutely nothing about the differences between various units.
Mostly, I record live audio (occasionally do midi), from around 8-12 tracks (depending on how large the band is, as well as how in depth I feel like going on the drums). I use various programs, including Cubase SE, Ardour (when I'm in Linux), and I'm getting started on learning REAPER. What's out there that will both cover my needs, and provide room for expansion, without costing multiple thousands of dollars?
Thanks,
