Can you Record 24 tracks at the same time with Vegas 2.0h?

Hi,
I have 24 tracks of tascam DA38 and wanted to transfer them into Vegas to edit.
I have the Mark of The Unicorn 2408MK11 and have Word clock to sync.
I noticed in Vegas 2.0h it allowed me to only select stereo, left or right.
Im getting the sinking suspicion I will need to upgrade to Vegas Video to be able to select which ins from the 2408 I assign to each track.

Is this the case? If it is, then I purchased the wrong software.

I do have Sonar 2 XL and noticed it does allow me to select which Digital ins and assign them to what track.

make sure the audio device in options isnt selecting microsoft sound mapper
Ive done 40 tracks at once with a motu 2408 (VERY bad drivers and support) and soundscape mixtreme at once.

hmm, i thought i tried to select the record ins and only saw left/right/stereo. I'll check again.

You can record 24 tracks. Check your preferences... Make sure the MOTU piece is recognized as an option. I think the sound mapper advice is right on too.

sorry for not being specific...youll see it under options/audio, not just by pressing the record button.

also check the motu !@@## console thingy....I forget the settings, but there is one that is VERY important for vegas, I think it is mentioned in the knowledge base.

If youre still stuck, Ill fire up the old POS that had the motu in it

Make sure the option for MME compatible legacy (non WDM) software is checked on the MOTU console. Set <Enable Routing>, and <Mono Routing> unless you want every 2 tascam channels as a stereo track. Also set all the outputs to 'none' to reduce bus bandwidth to a minimum. Hook up word clock with the MOTU as master, and set < Clock Source > to PCI324 internal. Of course the DAs' clocks must be set to external.

Other than that, it's just a matter of your PC having the legs to shift all that data at once.

Good luck, let us know how you got on ! - Geoff
