Multi-tracking rookie, would appreciate advise!

Hello, my name is Rob. I'm a frontman for a band called KATALYST in Bradenton, FL. I am trying to tackle the recording myself. Not only because studio time is expensive, but I really enjoy all things surrounding music anyway, so I would love to learn about recording. Anyway, I have enough stuff to start. I have a full PA system, 24 channel mixer board, all mics, cables, etc.

Recording rca output multi-channel

Ok so. I have a 12 Channel mixer(soundcraft efx) and i record with it into reaper v3.1415

I works really nice..but the RCA rec output sends the master mix into reaper.. is their a way to send the channels seperately into reaper? i want to gate and eq and play around with each drum indevidualy withought changing the whole drum mix..is this possible?

Advice on multi-channel audio/Mac interface

Looking for some advice. I have an M Audio Fast Track Pro (PC). Using this with nTrack Pro. I'm sure somewhere this has been discussed but haven't found anything yet.

I want to switch to an iMac and have a multi-channel interface so that I can use a board as well as my keyboard and mouse. I like boards better. By the way, don't have a board yet either.

Multi-Track Recorder for an O2R (Hard Drive)

OK, so I bought 2 Yamaha digital consoles in 1998 (worked with them for about 6 years). Both 16 channels cascaded together. I've been using Tascam DA 88's and 38's for multi-track recording (digital tape). Now I want to move to a Hard Drive unit that will work with my O2R's. Any suggestions? Been out of the game for awhile... :(

Thanks in advance,
- tony
