Presonus 24.4.2 with PT 10

[Rocka]

Question?? Been thinkin about going to the presonus 24.4.2 console into protools 10. Am i able to record 24 tracks at the same time via firewire without any pci or extra interfaces???? I was told yes. If so, that rocks!!

From what I understand, non HD Pro Tools can record 32 tracks at once ...

With the 24.4.2 you can do the 24 inputs and then probably about 5-7 or so more channels but you'll need an external preamp for 4 of them ... The talkback mic has a Class A preamp that can be routed through Universal Control as well as the Aux A and B inputs ...

I have the 16.4.2 and I use an external mixer when I run out of channels (for say 4 toms) ... I bring them back into the Aux A return (panned correctly on the ext mixer) and record them on a stereo track, when live, also route them to their own sub ...

I want the 24.4.2 ... I bought the 16.4.2 when it came out ... bout a year later the 24 ch version showed up ...

OK.. so on your 16... can you record 16 tracks at the same time via JUST firewire??

And yes PT 10 does record 32 at the same time but it is hardware/interface dependent.

Yes ... easily. I've recorded 20 channels (44.1K 32bit float) additionally using the Aux A & B Stereo inputs into Digital Performer 7.24 ... Just recently recorded 18 channels just using Presonus' Capture Software using Aux A as Channels 17 & 18 ...

My first studio pass into Pro Tools is usually 15 to 16 channels (44.1k 32bit float):
1-11: Drums
12: ProTools Click
13: Scr Bass
14: Scr Gtr1
15: Scr Gtr2
16: Scr Vox

Using Furman HR6 monitoring:
Aux 1: Vox
Aux 2: Bass
Aux 3: Gtr
Aux 4: Click
L&R 5: Stereo drums

Presonus' Capture is only 24bit

Hi guys, I seeking infos on presonus gear running ProTools 9.0.6. I've build a rig with a Firestudio and a Firestudio Tube chained and I can't get audio from two of the preamps, the very two "tube super channels" so called. I can't understand what happens. I can set up a session with 36 inputs thru the aggregate Audio unit but the only two I can't have are the tube pres. Any idea?
