Tascam Model 15 Console and converters

I’ve been using a Tascam Model 15 console with a pair of Firestudios for a while with decent results. I use a few preamps for tracking and basically do some analog mixes sending 16 tracks out of my DAW and recording a stereo track back in. Sometimes I just use it for summing
