FWx and Venue???

[Rehb]

This is one to everyone...

I read somewhere on the digi site that in 2005 the FWx card in Venue systems was going to support 32 channels?! Now is it 16in and 16 out simultaneous or is it 32 in/0 out or is the system still only 18i/o? I'm only curious because i was going to book one for a gig to take it for a test but only 18 channels Record... Have had to go with the Roland Vmixing system and (thumbs down) cakewalk PC instead because that way i can get my 32 channels and waste a few if i feel too.

I'm crapping on a bit but any push forward with 32 channels into LE from the FWx? We can all make that happen for most acts. Will it appear with PT 8 or was it a broken promise?

Cheers!
PS: 1 Day i will find a client who will pay to have this on a show so i can see how it fairs
