Hiya,
      I have done some research and decided that rme is the gear i would like to use in my project studio, but have found myself a little bit confused by all the options.

What would be the best rme setup for 16 balanced analog inputs and outputs?

The needs of the system would be thus : preamps for the 16 inputs (to be used simultaneously)
                                                        stereo master out for monitoring (will be doing all mixing in the computer)
                                                        3 stereo outputs for artist monitors

I would be looking at a pci express solution and would like the absolute lowest latency possible.

It looks like i would need 2 Octamic II's, a HDSPe AES, and 2 Bob32's ?
With the amount of options on the rme site , i'm kinda stumped as to if this is the right mix of gear to achieve the above, or whether it is enough ports to connect it all together.

Any help in selecting the right stuff would be great!
