Don't you think it's funny how people will seek out old analog gear and rave obout old boards but at the same time it seems we can't wait to update our newer digital gear. Untill there is a means of delivering a product at 96 or 192 khz, I see no reason whatsoever to get rid of my 2 DA7's. With my DA7's and 2 motu 2408's, I can easily track and monitor 32 tracks at a time (I use my mac and digital performer). I have a Kit Kat commercial on T.V. right now that Andrew W. K. recorded here and we had over 50 tracks involved. Although once I get above 32 I simply group a few tracks to a stereo bus in DP and assign them to 2 tracks on the boards. I can bassically do as many tracks as my computer can handle.
