Multitrack Recording a Concert

Here's the deal, I want to record a live concert using multitrack recording. I need to know exactly what gear would be cheapest and best and how to set it up.

I have a Yamaha MG24 14FX and a PC with Pro Tools 8 on it.

I want to be able to go from the sound desk into whatever I need to and recorded through pro tools so I can do a post mix. At most, I'd only need 12 channels.

Space Oddity. really. From Space.

While Avid are patting themselves on their back for lowering their upgrade pricing for Pro Tools 10 users who have Complete Production Tool Kit to go to PT11 HD, Sonar X2 has just returned from orbiting the Earth. No. I'm not kidding. Chris Hadfield, former commander of the international space station did some recording in space.

Home recording setup for a 6 people band?

We've started a band where we have about 3 female vocalists, 3 male vocalists, and some of us will be playing guitar and/or keyboard at times instead of singing. When we have a song ready we'd want to record it, so question is what equipment would be suitable for our setup? We are PC users (not MAC). Would we need a mic for each vocalist?

The Mathematics of Sound: Scientific Comprehension or Conceptual Understanding

In my quest to understand more about recording I bought a textbook. This methodology has worked well for me in many situations. I picked up the 3rd Edition "Handbook of Recording Engineering" by Eargle. Chapter one has in a certain sense left me in the dust. I understand the material presented in a conceptual way.
