When I had my 32 as my main board I had a tascam DA78 and a DA38 hooked up using a 16 ch snake one half being quarter inch and the other half being RCA then for effects I used the alisis vertulizer and a couple of dbx units, this was a few years ago and being you would like to go pro tools I figure it can be done with the right wireing but I'm not sure what that would be.
