48 or 64 input with aggregate devices and CPT?

[Jakob Clemen]

Hey folks

I'm thinking on expanding my PT 10 with CPT setup for live recording. Right now I have a M-Audio 2626, Focusrite Saffire pro 56 and a Focusrite Octopre. This gives me a total of 24 analog in/out.

Right now I'm concidering wich way to go in order to get the most flexible setup with the highest track count.

So first of all, if I double my existing setup, is 48 inputs via aggregate devices and two firewire inputs possible?

If I add aM-Audio Profire Lightbridge to my existing setup I could get 32 in/out and if I double this setup via aggregate devices I would get 64 in/out

I can see in the manual (p 243) that it's possible to get 192 input with the CPT, but how can I achieve this with non Avid devices - if possible at all?

I hope you can help me sort this out

Thanks in advance
Jakob

PT 10, with or without the CPTK, has a maximum of 32 I/O
64 I/O would require HD Native

But it is stated on p. 243 in the reference manual that you can get up to 192 input with CPTK

From the manual:
Complete Production Toolkit lets you play or re-
cord up to 192 voices simultaneously at 44.1 or
48 kHz and up to 96 voices at 88.2 or 96 kHz.

Hmm. Just found this page where it says that you get 32 in/out even though you have the CPTK - Damn

Total track count of 192 (if your computer can handle that anyways), but only record 32

Actually, the track count with the CPTK and PT 10 is 256
