Hi Guys, anyone here could offer some advice?
So we just got a nice little peavey FX16 desk for a bit of a steal off ebay with multicore setup in a flight case with some space for another rackmount unit. What we want to do is record our gigs and maybe make some demos of our own stuff in a home studio. In a live situation we use about 12 inputs to the desk ( 7 drums, 2 vocals, guitar mic, bass DI, plus mp3 player for intervals), there's only 3 of us!
The Peavey, apparently has a feature where if you push the input 1/4" jacks halfway they also produce an output signal? I think you need something called TRS cables.
So the thinking was, and we are pretty newb about all this, was to get a 12 input audio interface, rackmountable, with a firewire or usb out to a laptop. Does anyone have any experience of this? Would it work? Ive seen some 2nd hand of these

any good?
we want a fairly simple(ish) soloution to recording in a neat unit. I've used Tracktion 3 as a Daw before and thats pretty simple to operate. Any thoughts or suggestions, greatly welcome!
