how come asio 24 only 16 (stereo) channels?

this is a shame as i more than often need more than 16 channels, double this would be more of a real deal. is there some kind of work around im missing? i tryed the 32 bit asio but found it a bit of a hit n miss afare on my system. i would prefur to stay in 24 bit anyways...

any ideaz?

You really should use the ASIO2-32 Source 64 module (and the corresponding Dest module) even for 24 bit recording, as i think it has newer drivers or something, can't remember the details but the other modules are older. Using this module you can get 32 stereo ASIO channels, which barely fits on my screen! Double click on the ASIO module and try raising the Source Channels number to 64. Whether your sequencer can or not is a different matter

Hm, I tried to raise my PulsarI with SRB board to 64 ASIO channels. I haven´t got the ProPack so I had to use a other mixer solution. I loaded two micro mixers with 16 stereo channels each and a additional micro mixer to mix the four mixer outputs to one stereo output.
I thought I had won but after I´ve started my Cubase, my PulsarI surprised me with a PCI overflow,arrgh. I think the PulsarI or my system is to weak to hold all ASIO channels,damn.
Now I use one micro mixer with 16 32bit ASIO channels (stereo) again. I mix and master in Cubase only and use Pulsar for routing and to play the Pulsar synths. 8 DSP´s are not much on a Pulsar I + SRB.
