delta 1010lt and how to plug in

Ziko	Date: May 24, 2004 @ 11:38 PM Hi there. I'm relatively new to home recording and I'm slowly gearing up. I've got a delta 1010lt which has 2 xlr inputs and 6 rca inputs. I'm using Cakewalk. So far I've been using synthed drums and then recording gats, vox, bass etc one by one into either the XLR or thru a mixing desk into 2 RCAs (for stereo). Now I want to record a drum kit, using all 8 inputs at once. problem is, how do I take 8 mics and input them into the 6 RCA inputs at line level? What device should I be using? A mixing desk (with pre amp inside it) that has seperate outputs for each input? How do people normally tackle this part of their setup? Thanks, Simon

Snare 3. toms 4. cymbals 5. ambient mic 6. ambient mic or i might want total contol of the hi hat so just have one ambient and use the other for hats..

Ziko	Date: May 25, 2004 @ 10:10 PM Thanks for the advice, I'm looking at a Yamaha MG 16/4 and using the output of the insert I/O for each track. The desk has phantome power on it too whcih is cool so I can plug in any type of mic I like pretty much.
