Re: 18 mics in with a Firewire 1814 + 2xADA8000
Try the Tascam FW1804(002 rack minus PT) and an ADA8000. this will be both cheaper and easier than PT or the 1814. The tascam comes with cubase sx. If you go this route, be warned that choosing to go FW vs. PCI measn no built-in DSP routing/effects(Delta cards offer routing, EMU 1212m offers both). Just my 2 cents, and what I have learned by trial and error.
