Hey everyone I'm new to this board but Ive been using a digi002 for awhile and i want to move up to a 24ch mixing board into pro tools but I'm on a pretty tight budget. The only ones i can really find in my budget but ive only looked at a few. The first was a mx9000 which looks cool but ive heard bad sh*t about Behringer and so i looked at the phonic mr4283 but i would also miss out on the meter bridge. Anyways i just want to hear thoughts and info on this stuff and what i should do or look at. Thanks

i also cant get anyone to explain to me how i would incorporate
i also cant get anyone to explain to me how i would incorporate one of these 24 ch analog mixers into pro tools. Im pretty confused on that part. Thanks for any help. Im thinking of just saving for along time and getting like the tascam fw control surface with 2 fader expansions. But i dont know i cant get alota info on any of this stuff so i dont know what the best route for me to go is. thanks for the response.
You've only got 8 channels of IO with your digi002 unless you pi
You've only got 8 channels of IO with your digi002 unless you pick up an old ADAT recorder and use the optical link to run it as AD converters for an extra 8 channels of IO.
As such, a 24 channel desk will be pretty pointless.
Saying that, if you're set on upgrading your whole system, you could do a lot worse than the Behringer. It's more-or-less the exact same desk as the Mackie 24-8 but considerably cheaper.
I rate Behringer quite highly on the amateur-to-semi-pro kit front. They have a great knack of doing equivalents of expensive gear for ridiculously low prices. Take the "Truth" active nearfields - they're pretty much Mackie HR624s but again, half the price.

Are you getting a board cause you want to mix in an analog board
Are you getting a board cause you want to mix in an analog board or are you getting a board just to have the fancy knobs and faders and for everything to look impressive? If you only want it for the impressive look and for more knobs and faders but could live with mixing "in the box" then look at the Tascam US-2400 control surface. It has HUI emulation and has 24 channel faders and one master and can control more channels than you will probably ever need with the bank switch. Just a thought.
