I have a 1995 Mackie 24.8  8 bus mixer, I'm tired of my DA88 tapes being chewed up and paying Tascam over $300 for repair, so can anyone recommend a 24 track hard disc recorder that will interact with the old Mackie board and hookup to it?  Someone mentioned the Alesis hd24 BUT a mix review on that said" the HD24 does not allow multiple track takes"  what does that really mean?

I need a batch program that can batch from an EDL list or OMFI.

Q1.I have an EDL/OMFI and Tascam DA-88. I need to batch the sound from the DA-88 into my computer using the Omfi file or the edl list, and save it as an OMFI file.

Q2.I have heard that you can get a converter that converts the serial port to a 9 pin remote. It is called Rosetta Stone. Do you know of any others?
