It's quite simple to multi-track to Standard ProTools.
Waves came out with tracking software that allows the basic 32 input wall to be broken. It records to wave and aiff so ideally it could be used to track and then dump into protools for mixing or stay there if you choose.
In my rig I have an M32, M32R and three DL16's so the consoles are synched down the line. Two DL16's carry the mic inputs and IEM outputs and the third is simply a converter for the FOH lines to return to the stage.
My question / issue is this… if I wanted to record some additional lines to take my track count up to 40 inputs how do I clock the extra device needed to expand. I would 32 inputs from the desk and then I would use another device such as an octa-capture to grab a couple of room/ambient mics. Tracks Live will see aggregate devices so I can should (in theory) be able to use them simultaneously.
99.9% of my shows allow for the rooms mics to be on the desk as part of the 32 inputs, but the one show I need to actually record needs more than 32.
On the SC48 I usually just create some busses to simplify the recording, but you can't send busses to the direct outs on the M32.
If this doesn't work I could rent a pair of HDR's and take the Adat outs from the DL16's.
What do you guys think?
