If it were up to me, we would build 16 channels of line input only modules that have direct out and or 8 buses, a few auxes all tied together to a master section, we can do solo's and cuts too if we like. The master section should have the usual master section equipment. There done. Everything else eq's, pre's, compressors we already have so why bother trying to work that into something we don't need. this also eliminates cost. I
As a mixer designer I am fascinated by people's descriptions of the mixer they would like. Your description raises a number of questions.
First you say you want 16 line level inputs with direct outs and/or 8 buses. From the design and cost point of view there is a huge difference between the three. Line inputs with direct outs is trivial - but is the direct out pre or post the fader? That makes a cost difference. 9 buses will be expensive; there's the routing for a start not to mention the bus amps. Is there a pan between the 8 buses? Is there a stereo bus as ell for mixdown?
Then you say you want 'a few' AUXes. How many is that? Are they pre or post fader or switchable to either? Are they all mono or do you want a stereo one as in The Box. Exactly what will you use them for??
