It'll be a second-hand 24 channel LE. I originally thought the Automated version had VCA automation, but this wasn't the case (the full version has only automated MMC, midi mutes, and mute-groups) so hopefully I'll not regret losing those functions.
32 channels, however, would eclipse my bedroom, lol.
With the monitor channels patched in the 24-channel should allow for 48 input channels plus 4 stereo returns and tape-ins (a total of 58 channels! 8O) at any one time, i think. In addition to hardware synths/effects, am hoping to output eight channels from my computer to the console with eight going back into the computer for the best of hybrid hardware/software worlds.... I desperately need a computer upgrade and a new soundcard for that though!

I looked on ebay over the past year or so, watching a good few Soundtracs mixers and Ghosts going through, just to see what the score was, but I never went for them as I never really knew if they'd been looked after, or what condition I'd receivec them in.
Instead I went for purchasing it from a "Soundtracs" console engineer who buys (all analogue) consoles and services them for a living. So it should get here in good condition, touch wood, and I'll have a place to go to for lifetime servicing or advice if anything goes wrong. I wouldn't like to have something like a console posted, as stuff gets bashed, so am picking it up myself.
For those in the UK, the guy's website is
http://www.studiosys.demon.co.uk/consoles.htm , which is mainly Soundtracs stuff, but he services and buys other mixers too

Originally I was looking for a Soundtracs (Topaz Project-8 ), but the Aux arrangement and EQ functionality of the Ghost appears a lot more flexible. I'm looking forward to it.
