[This is a repost. I got absolutly no response to the first posting.]

How difficult a proposition would it be to use this BB ADC to build a
multi-channel digital mixer? I haven't read the specs on it yet (I will
today at the Tech library) but if it's dual 200Khz ADC then it should
be possible to sample 8 audio channels at CD (44.1 Khz) or DAT (48 Khz)
quality. So how feasible is something like this:

-----------  ---------  ---------  --------   --------  --------  --------
|8        |--|Analog |--|Filters|--|      |   |      |  |      |  |      |
|Audio    |--|Multi- |  |  and  |  | ADC  |---| DSP  |--| DAC  |--|Filter|
|channels |--|plexors|--|  S/H  |--|      |   |      |  |      |  |      |
-----------  ---------  ---------  --------   --------  --------  --------

With the output being either high quality audio or DAT compatable digital.
The DSP would handle all mixing, EQ, effects, etc.

If samples can be obtained for ~$50 then a box for between $200 to $300
could be realized. If the DSP is fast enough then another ADC could
easily be added for a grand total of 16 channels.

Any comments?
