Hi guys

Im new to this forum ,so hello.
I have this common problem with the 002 i really really need more inserts than the 8 that the 002 comes with.I have used a Fostex ADAT VC-8 through a Soundcraft spirit 24 channel mixer so i can use up the option of 16 in. But i really need somthing more high end solution (im getting more and more important recordings ) and the fact that i dont have to set up and drag the mixer around its (big and heavy) if i have to record lots of instruments on a different location.
How about RME, Presonus, MOTU, Focusrite?!?!! are they compatible?!?! is there anny other brand of ad/da out there???

iv been asking around for ages and nobody can get me a straight answer.
I really dont want to shift to Logic just to get 8 more ins.
common u guys...annyone??? really need some help here
