some configuration questions

Anyone? Your help would be appreciated.

A. No, only the 192 has expansion capability. B. Yes, but the term in this context is "banking" from one group of 24 to another. "Flip" refers to the fact that you can bring parameters from the encoders (such as sends and plug-ins) down to the faders to get touch sensitive automation control. C. Don't live in New York, but you should speak to a local dealer for pricing. D. There is a difference. It's pretty significant,but not earth shattering. The 192 was designed from the ground up with the latest technology. The 96 is essentially a souped up version of the 888. E. Again, talk to a local dealer for pricing. There are a million factors and based on the questions you're asking, you will definitely need the support of a competent technician. Supplying that support should be the goal of any reputable dealer. You can probably buy the stuff cheaper from some places, but they probably wouldn't know any more about the system than you do. If I were you, I'd get in touch with one of the Digidesign reps up there and get a dealer recommendation from them. Good luck.
