I have the MPC 2500, along with the Roland Fantom XR (rack) and the Yamaha Motif ES (rack). I want to be able to assemble my songs right on the MPC. Meaning, I want to handle my drums/samples on the MPC, then play (sequence) my keyboard sounds (from the Fantom & Motif) on the MPC also. Once all of that is complete, I'd like to run the already arranged song to my computer (software), to then add vocals, scratches, etc.
Right now I have the Roland Edirol UA-25, which is only 2 audio inputs (1 midi in, 1 midi out). Between the MPC, the Motif, and the Fantom, that's 16 outputs (MPC 8, Fantom 4, Motif 4). So if I wanted to record all 16 tracks at once to my software, are there bigger interfaces that can handle all of that? If so, which one's are good? Or, it was suggested that I go the Firewire route, which I know less about.
Any insight, or recommendations would be appreciated.
