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.
