All good points.
I can live with 24 Outs although I would prefer 32 as my SSL Mix Box is 32 Ch.
I did remember about the AAX thing - just forgot my TDM plugs are dead in the water.
Hoping for a good upgrade deal.
It all comes down to how well my Mac performs over the next few weeks.
You may find yourself using some of those other 8 ins on your summing mixer for parallel processing, time based fx, etc; anyhow.
I emailed Bobby at Alto Music....
He advised me that the Max no of outs any AVID converter can have is 16.
Bugger - that blows the idea of 24 out, 8 in.
