Hi I'm looking for a pro audio interface with great quality converters, mostly I'm looking for many analog ins, as many as possible, under 1500$. I was thinking of buying the MOTU 24i/o Core system, what do you guys think?

Motu is reliable and built solid. They seem to have kept their drivers up inspite of all the chages in the PC market. Mackie and Presonus are some others to look into. A lot of these manufacturers have forums or FAQ's. I usually go through those to see how the products perfom and see how good the support is.

I'd second the FF800 - the difference between it and the Motu is very noticeable imho. I've not used any of the mixer/firewire solutions but have been very taken with the comments & responses about the ZED series and would certainly consider it. When I need a desk which does routing and conversion (read: headphone mixes, multiroom scratch tracks) I actually use a Ramsa DA7 desk which although not top-line is cheap and massively functional, the interfacing is an issue, I have ADAT outs for 16 digital outs and 2 more from SP/DIF but there are plenty of plugin cards for it - none Firewire or USB to my knowledge.
