I am looking for that kind of thing to use primarily for mix down. The smaller the better (size-wise).

Anything out there? Capable of mixing 24 tracks. Very high quality electronics. Must have good head room, hi quality EQ and busing electronics. Mackie ain't gonna cut it sonically.(May not even use for tracking - I'm going direct to HD24 with stand alone pres) But just to keep my otions open I would prefer 8 bus in case I did want to try it tracking.

Would the Studiomaster Mixdown 8 Classic perhaps fit in this category.

Thanks,

Woods
