The biggest limitation is in the software, PTLE will only recognize one interface. Best bet to add more analog I/O is through the ADAT Lightpipe I/O.

do you mean that protools only recognized the control 24 as one input?
or that i would have to get additional protools hw?

i would like to get the d-command but thats way out of the question of course considering its just a big remote, thel 24 has some nice preamps and a analog submixer which i found really enticing..

If you are using PTLE it can only access one digidesign interface at a time.

The max I/O for the 002 are eight analog, eight digital via lightpipe(ADAT), SPDIF (digital stereo) for a total of 18. That's it to get more inputs you would have to step up to the industry standard PT|HD sytems, not to be confused with Pro Tools Limited Edition.(PTLE)

I was thinking of getting control 24, and the HD 3 system so i could optimize all the inputs. What do you think?

what would you reccomend?
