Looking for a New interface help

[VenusianSun]

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a new interface and I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with the options, was hoping for some advice. Here's what I need in terms of functionality.
- 16-24 tracks of simultaneous recording to a DAW but something that can record internally aswell so I can use it on live gigs without a DAW, as backing tracks to play along with. Like track instruments, backing vocals, MPC, synths through the interface into a DAW, tweak the tracks in the DAW and then record those tracks back into the interfaces internal recorder for playback live without the DAW
- midi sync the interfaces internal recorded tracks/songs with the mpc, synths live.
- quick load between songs from internal drive
- be able to route the individual tracks, from the interfaces internal drive to a stage snake so house sound tech has control aswell.
Any suggestions/recommendations on the best quality versus price point solutions? Thanks in advance

You're not asking for much!

This is probably the closest you'll find:

The SoundCraft has many of the features, but I don't think it has Midi.

Many digital mixers are capable of recording multitrack onboard and/or to a DAW.

I have a UI24R, and it's pretty effective for live mixing and recording. I haven't tried it in a studio setting, but I think it would do reasonably well. It records to a USB stick, which has to be fast enough and not be bigger than 32 GB. It might take one stick per set to record all 22 inputs plus the mix.

I believe there's an expansion card for the X/M32 mixers that allows recording to an SD card.

In depth review ^ and some ' frank and open' discussion about it on their forum. Yes, very unusual for a "mixer" to have MIDI ports but when you consider the CPU power on board and the space available it is pretty mean IMHO to leave it off?
