Hey anyone know a good yet inexpensive (comparatively) recording unit that has the ability to record digitally up to 12 channels simultaneaously? I need one to record live worship, but haven't found "the one" yet... haha... thanks!

Dont you have a mixing board normally for worship team? If you do, just use that, pre-mix the sound into the digital box. If you want to try different drum beats or singing patterns whatever, record them separately. A good sound engineer will know how to do this. heck, i could probably do it and I just play the drums. get a decent box with XLR connections as well at 1/4" jacks. patch into the box from the soundboard and if the particular piece of software has a click track, patch it back to the soundboard into the monitors.

This is a recent topic of interest for me as we just decided to create a working recording studio out of our sanctuary. We are in the process of turning one of our class rooms into a recording studio as well. I would post pics but I have not yet hit the minimum post rule.
Even a 12 track digital console is expensive. I was looking at Roland for that but decided to use a computer based sound card route instead. I currebtly have 3 Hoontech ST Audio DSP 2000 audio cards on a simple P-4 with 2 gigs of RAM and a huge HD, around 1 terabyte from what I remember. The size of the hard drive is critical in this set up as you will be recording multiple tracks that you can go back and master later. I use Cakewalk Sonar at home and church, love it to death.
Our primary system is set up as such, one SR328 (Mackie) for the house mix and one more SR328 for recording mix. The house bord mixes the FOH and stage mixes, and the second board is jumped from all channels via the inserts to then be routed to the sound cards. The DSP2000 audio cards take 10 channels at once so we have a maximum of 30 ch at a time. Since the cards are PCI connected, the latency is not as big a problem as would be a USB or Firewire based interface.
You may want to look this direction if you want to save a little money.
