Im probably asking a retarded question but please just humor me anyways.
I may understand quite a bit about sound and all that but setting up gear is a mystery to me. My curiousity has come up with this question:
How do you chain a bunch of high quality 2 input preamps into your DAW so you end up with like 8 or more like a firepod? Can you just run like 8 2 channel preamps into each XLR input on a firepod?
I dont know why this confuses me so much...
My stomache hurts thinking about this stuff...

The Firepod that you mentioned does.
Computers don't understand analog signals, they operate on ones and zeros.
Any rackmount, desktop, or portable device that routes an analog signal into a computer is a converter (more precisely, an Analog to Digital converter).
The ones that do the opposite (run signal out of the DAW) are Digital to Analog converters.

I hope that helps. :)
If the DAW's A/D accepts line level sources, then yes, of course

It's no different than having a mixer's direct outs (or record outs) plugged into the inputs of the converter.
