I am operating with 2 main scenarios in mind. I am a jazz musician so I would like to be able to record live shows and mix PA and Monitors for a quartet so that's about 8 in and 6 out. I need fully balanced inputs to prevent hum on live gigs. The second scenario is using the rig for my recording studio. (a work that is still in progress) I would need multiple inputs and outputs here as well.
