The Gear Is Too Damn High

I can currently record 16 tracks at once. To add another 8, the most cost-efffective solution seems to be an adat bridge (like the Presonus Lightpipe) and another 8 channel preamp and a/d box (like the Digimax I currently have).

So many costly boxes....it'd be awesome to have 24-at-once, especially since I just got a new Pyle drum mic kit. I've read reviews that claim it mimics a much more expensive Shure Beta set, claims that I shall test tonight.

And then, I want new monitors.......
