I apologize if this is something that has been asked before, but if I had a series of shows I was going to be mixing and I need the ability to mix up to 48 tracks, is Pro-Tools my only and/or best option? I'm on a Mac.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Reaper is my DAW of choice also - it's amazing what you get for the price.
I use it with the Imperial custom skin: http://www.houseofwhitetie.com/reaper/imperial/wt_imperial.html (http://www.houseofwhitetie.com/reaper/imperial/wt_imperial.html)
This looks great, thanks very much!
Another vote for Reaper here - and a recommendation to trawl the Sound On Sound archives for the ongoing series of articles where they use Reaper plus free/cheap plugins to do great things to tricky mixes.
Reaper offers a lot of customization options for workflow that aren't immediately apparent. The fastest and easiest way I know to see how to set some things up is this video: http://www.groove3.com/str/reaper-4-explained.html (not mine--wish I was that smart)
Honestly, the way you set up your mouse to operate in Reaper makes a huge difference in ease of workflow.

like Reaper for multi-tracking mixing in post, but the learning curve can be a real bitch....
