Either ardour if you want a complicated interface for a simple task. Or
timemachine if you want a simple interface for a simple task. timemachine
even records backwards in time so when you decide to record each song on its
own, you can press the record-button after the song started and it will (with
respect to the length you told it to buffer) record the beginning if the song
too.

2x1024 should be good for plain recording (even if you do
recording-while-playing). The higher the latency the better the chance for
the disks to keep up. Only if you really need software monitoring or are
playing and recording softsynths you need low-latency.

But test your setup before the gig. Or maybe bring your ADAT _and_ your
multiface and record with both if its an important recording.

Have fun,

Arnold
