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
