I know a bit about recording and have done some mastering of simple recording tracks. I am very much ready to do more pro sounding work. I am building a computer specifically for recording. 1.8 P4 w/ a Gig of dual channel RAM. I now need to figure out what external equipment I want. I am interested in 8 tracks simultaneously. For drums and such. I only know about the analog cards where most offer only 2 to 4 inputs. I have investigated ADAT and am still not sure how that all works. Will an ADAT in card allow me to assign each track to a different input??
Will this 8 xlr in w/ATAT out and 8 XLR out

ADAT in sound card
and let me record the 8 simultaneous tracks.
If not ADAT, what about SPDIF?
Or should I try (2) delta 66 boxes and hope my computer can hadle it. Then what do I use as a preamp? Are there any good preamps with xlr in and 1/4 out per channel?
I have been trying to figure this stuff out on the internet but its all definition, not process.
Thanks alot.
