Actually a used 02R might fit the bill perfectly, if you could find one that had ADAT or TDIF cards installed. That way you could get the corresponding cards for the Mackie and take advantage of the 02R's full 40 inputs (16 analog line ins, 16 digital ins via ADAT or TDIF cards, and 4 stereo ins) The cards are in blocks of 8 channels, so you'd only need one to supplement the analog ins and cover 24 tracks.

You'd have onboard effects with total recall, and the ability to save different versions of your mix minus whatever instruments you needed to remove. The sound quality wouldn't be world-class, but probably fine in your application. If you found the internal effects lacking you could always supplement with outboard processors.
