FYI, on any contemporary linux system with reasonable sensible hardware and a minor amount of system configuration, you should be able to record 24+ tracks simultaneously without any issues at all, for hours. if you can't, then you've got a problem with any or all of: * the wrong kernel * poor hardware * lack of system configuration tuning * wrong options given to software * bad software --p
