yes the drummer already has the necessary mics. so i think i'm going to go with 
the presonus digimax or just get another mixing console.

  Hi Omar,

  See if the drummer uses microphones when performing live. 
  The Drummers who I've worked with for live work have used between 3 or 7 
microphones.
  This could mean less microphones for you to purchase which intern will give 
you more to spend on the sound card.

    actually, i have a better budget to work with now. the client is giving me 
some of the money in advance. so that should increase my options.

      The Mackie 1202 only has 4 XLR inputs. If you want something to use as a 
sub 
      mixer, you'd do better getting one of the 16 channel Mackies. Those have 
XLR 
      input on all channels.

      Anything by Mackie, a VLZ Pro 12 channel, for instance...

      hmm, I haven't used mixers in about 3 years. Does anyone have any 
      recommendations for a high-quality budget analog mixer?

      In this case, something you use to get a basic stereo mix of your 
      microphones in to your soundcard, then in to your DAW...

      It's referred to as a sub-mixer coz its not there for the entire 
production 
      process, only during the recording!

      I guess, you could refer to it as a quote transitory quote mixer 
instead...

      You really need a quote sub quote mixer, then feed the stereo outs from 
      there in to your RME...

      Failing that, you could be really rad, & employ the ancient technique of 
      miking a kit with only 2 microphones!

      Basically, one on the bass drum & a cleverly placed overhead mike.
      This method duzz require a fair bit of experimentation, but its been used 
a 
      myriad times on thousands of hitz from yesteryear...

      Hello,

      I'm going to be recording live instruments soon, and it's the first time 
      I've done this. 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
