Fletcher,
I wanted to PM you on this, but I thought it might be useful info. for someone else.
So here goes:
This board looks like it would be right up my alley for a replacement for the DMX. There's no way in hell that I could need or justify the 16 channel expansion. I don't see myself using more than 16 inputs at a time right now.
I do, however, need 24 mixing channels. I think I read somewhere that there are 8 extra inputs for that reason. The question is, how do you gain control of the (extra) individual inputs for mixing? Do you somehow throw in extra faders? What about eq and sends?
I would be coming straight from the RADAR and not ITB... so I want control, not just 8 extra inputs to sum.
THX in advance.

Add an API 8200A "line mixer" which has two sends... and seeing as the signal is "line level" on the way out of the RADAR you can add EQ, etc. prior to the input of the 8200A if you need it.
I'd kinda recommend you put things that would normally remain static in a mix into the 8200A... things like drums, bass, etc. which eat inputs but are rarely something you make moves on while mixing.
I hope this is of some assistance.
Peace.

"Recording engineers are an arrogant bunch.
If you've spent most of your life with a few thousand dollars worth of musicians in the studio, making a decision every second and a half... and you and they are going to have to live with it for the rest of your lives, you'll get pretty arrogant too. It takes a certain amount of balls to do that... something around three"

But the radar is digital, isn't it?
So you could make your moves with the radar automation before the sound even hit the API.
