Is it at all possible to set up the Studio 1824c and use it as a platform to a band to rehearse to through headphones? Can the 2 headphone outs deliver 2 different mixes? Is it possible to use the line outputs to deliver additional mixes? Could this work with a 5 piece band (vocals/keys/guitar/bass/e-drums)?
Presumably some kind of headphone amplifier would be needed for each musician, but is there a better alternative?

Welcome to the Forum!

They quit making these but they looked pretty neat.

Roland has something similar:

More modern alternative:

But that interface will do what you want, it has the I/O.

Some headphone amps would be good to have, I think the signal from the front panel headphone jacks are the same.

But you have plenty outputs to feed everyone. It will be a process, a learning process as well.

If its the same as the 1810C then the second headphones out is by default driven by Out 3/4. You're better off creating a Studio One Song with Cue Mix software outs rather than trying to wrangle the 1824 standalone UC GUI to route things well. And each output isn't high-level enough to drive headphones properly (although you will hear something). An alternative is for each band member to buy their own small mixer ... the really small two-channel designs can be very cheap ... and use that to drive headphones properly after feeding them the line signal from the 1824C. Anything that has a headphone output, like an old stereo hifi or a DJ desk, can be used to bring the 1824C signal up to that level.

I've not really needed to explore cue mixes but I think I get it now; I can route cue mixes to any line outs and (in addition to the 2 headphone outs) I'd just need a headphone amp (or similar) to boost up to headphone output level for each additional out. Trying to do this for the minimum outlay so it may be a case of adding a rack headphone amp to the system or individual ones like the HP2.
Alternatively I could use the AUX outs on our live desk with a headphone amp I guess.
