The place you will get sucked into the void with a 2 inch 24 track is
at mixdown. You will need several good compressors and maybe some
expander/gate units as well.

Maybe that's true for you. I was working for more than 30 years
with two compressors before the RNC came out. Now I have three
compressors. I agree that pop music is based on squashing everything,
so you get a bunch of compressors. No big deal. It's only money. Or
you go to a very well equipped studio to mix.

A good option would be to go with something like a Tascam ATR-60 16
track. Do your core tracks on it. Get something like the Motu 24i so
you can bounce straight into it with your tracks. There you can
sweeten a bit and use some use something like Waves rennaissance
compressor pacage from Waves and voila.

But my idea was to get rid of the computer other than perhaps for
mixdown. If you're going that route, you might as well just record to
the computer and be done with it. And you can record a bejillion
tracks and spend the next six months deciding whether the first
syllable in Loooooo-uve in take 18 was better than the one in take
two.
