What do I need?

[deeplfo]

Here is what I did, got rid of my 24 ch. desk, replaced it with a multi I/O Firewire audio card from Echo Audio and a patch bay.  

I tried out the Personus Firestudio as well as the M-Audio 16 channel Firewire card.  The Presonus would not work smoothly with Ableton Live on my machine.  So, I was deciding between Echo and M-Audio, and I did a listening test between those two and really liked the Echo card.  Have been really happy with this whole approach.  I've also made my working area much more cleaner.

Subject: What do I need?

 
Hey guys,
  I am making
some additions to my home studio and would appreciate some advice on
recording.  I have only ever had the need to record one thing at a time in
Ableton Live but now I am looking for the ability to record more.  At the
moment I have my mixing desk routed back into my soundcards only input but this
limits me to recording one input at a time and it also records from the sound
card so anything else playing gets recorded.  I plan on having at least 4
other units plugged into the mixer so I would like to be able to record them
all separately and at the same time if necessary.
 
  So what do
I need?  Do I need a new sound card with more inputs?  Do I need a
new mixer with separate outputs?  How do you guys do it?
 
Regards,

Declan.
