  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.
