I'm in the market to buy a 24 trk mixer, and I would like to know which should, I buy digital or analog? And what brand is better, I have a budget of $2,400. I basically do hip-hop, R & B and Alternative

Yeah there is the big downside of digital, a good analog desk will have 120dB of clean signal and then another 12-20dB of useable distortion whereas the digital will have the 120dB (or even more) and then nothing. Its just a matter of getting used to a "new" gain structure for the digital consoles.The biggest difference comes from the dynamics. Analog signal usually have a lot of headroom. This means that your signal can be pretty hot and your signal will not clip. Although analog does clip also, it will not sound as bad/rough as digital will sound. In digital, when measuring audio levels, anything above 0db will clip.

Where can you find a used O2R96 ? if you can find one it won't be for $2400.Don't be carried away by the 96 in the O2R96,you are paying Yamaha $4000 or more for the same 96k you'll get by buying an TC finalizer(96k) or an Apogee Rosetta. Don't fall for all those industry marketing gimicks.
Moreover,..How many albums in the industry has been mastered in 96k/24bits ?
I am not saying all this cause I want to get rid of my O2R.This is just a fact that you can check out yourself.
