Tascam DM3200 Digital Mixer

I have yet to find some basic info regarding the compatibility as a DAW controller of the DM3200 and a Pro Tools Setup. I have a 002 Rack and will eventually move over to the HD systems as money allows. However, is it enough to purchase the FireWire card and plug directly in and with a few configs the DM3200 will play nice with Pro Tools? (Ver. 6.4 Currently). Anyone use this setup?

Old Tascam Boards

When I was younger (back before I was even a recording noob) I bought 2 Tascam 8 Channel Boards TEAC style from a church. I played with them for a day or 2 then off to ebay they went. I think they had a decent sound but I can't say for certain. Anyone have an opinion of their preamps? Compared to Firepod pre's or entry to mid level external pre's? How about any other older boards?

Learning MIDI: SR-16 to Tascam 2488

Any help from someone experienced with MIDI would be appreciated! I've got an Alesis SR16 and a Tascam 2488. I'm just learning about MIDI and I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to spread the drum kit to different channels on the Tascam for recording. The stereo outputs to 2 tracks is easy, but I'd like to be able to manipulate kick, snare, etc separately during mixdown.

Tascam US-122 and Sonar

Anyone have one of these? My friend just bought one and wants me to help him set it up with Sonar. Is it compatible with Sonar? I'm looking at the site and it looks like it connects to a computer via USB and the monitors go to the line outs. Would using an RCA/TRS cable work for powered monitors since the US-122 has RCA outs? How do I go about setting it up with Sonar?

Upgrading RME converters with Tascam DAT? or not...

Problem...

I hear great final mix (analog) but when I record that thru RME converters (Multiface) it doesn't sound that good anymore.

I recorded in 24bit resolution, 44.1.
Details are lost, highs are muddy, bass not tight. Something is wrong. OK, it is not SO wrong (most people probably would not notice it) but I do and it bothers me.
