Folks that track and mix on a console - what’s your normal use of auxes and busses/groups? To try to make it equivalent, let some say on a per 16 channel basis.

2-3 aux, no groups or busses. I used to use 3-4 busses, and it's all fallen away. Unless it's live event with multiple zones and purposes, subs, recording, video, etc. But that's different.

This is so project dependent, but minimum I could get by with is 4aux switchable pre /post in pairs and 4 mono/2 stereo groups/subs, but I need 24-32 inputs and the fact that 16 of the 32 inputs on the DDA can be used as buss or mono inputs spoils me!

If you consider one stereo bus to just be two mono busses panned left and right, I need a minimum of four busses (two for main stereo and two for drum stereo), but I prefer at least eight busses so that I have another four mono busses (which can also be panned left or right) to combine guitars, bass, etc. I also prefer a minimum of four stereo auxes for sending to different reverbs and delays, though I don't have a problem with just doing auxes in the daw and then sending those outputs to a pair (or more) of da outputs.

No console here, but an SSL Sigma. I use a variant of the Michael Brauer approach: 4 to 6 stereo buses handling instrument sub-groups and 6 mono buses, 3 for lead vox and one each for kick, snare, and bass guitar. All going through hardware compressors. There's a good Sound On Sound article in the March 2018 issue with Greg Wells where he lays it out ITB. Interesting read, I might nick some of his ideas. Which he nicked from Brauer and Scheps, of course.
