Hi Omar! Havent done this in a weil, but i will be looking for a good line mixer, with out any pre amp, less noise, You can than pan the drums as you want and if you run into problems with not enough signal. put line drivers on the output of the mixer. I dont think you need the line drivers if you normally has hi input on your card. I am paying a little more for my stuff and use a local music stor. Here i can borrow things and test them, before buying. Good luck!

Do you have any recommendations for having 6 preamp inputs in one unit? Outside of having a mixer, I'm not familiar with something like this. What kind of unit am I looking for?

I would need around 6 of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir <mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 7:24 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: micking drums If you have an ADAT port on the fireface then, you could use some pree-amps with an ADAT port instead.

I'm using the RME fireface 800, and it has only 2 mic inputs. I'll be recording live drums, and I'll need about 6 mics for those. If the fireface has only 2 mic inputs, what's the best solution to record all the drums at the same time? Would i need to use a mixer for the extra mic inputs, or is there another alternative? Thanks. Omar Binno Website: www.bigoproductions.net AIM: LOD1116
