I'm kinda new to the recording thing, but i was was wndering if you are using a digital recoder with 8 tracks, what would you need a 16-30+ track mixing console for. Basically i'm wondering how would the two work together. Where would all inputs on the mixer be coming from if the recorder which is only like 4 to 8 tracks is the device playin back. Does that mean in a real studio they use4 or 5 recorders?
 
HHHMMMMMMMMMM

Let me see..

Well, many mixers used in the studios have two ways per channel. One being used for playback and the other for recording, so: From your instruments to input A of channel 1. From there (mostly Direct Out) to input 1 on the recording device. From output #1 on the recorder to input B on channel #1 in the mixer...

Peace...
