His request (asking me):

any input on a $600 or so rack mount interface that will do the job of making all this work would be great(and sound good with room to grow)


Sound good with room to grow.
Under $600
Rack Mount

He has $600 to spend, and wants something with good quality that will work reliably and have 'room to grow'. He'll still have money left over and a nice interface that meets the requested options with the 18i20. . if he went with a 2i4 he may be unplugging/plugging things in constantly, or worse yet run out of inputs some day when a few buddies show up to record.
The 18i20 (in his budget) does not have as many limitations and suits his specs nicely.
My humble opinion.


Make your sound your own!
