Okay, for example, right now I'm recording drums with an 8-channel interface. I'll peruse the internet as one does, and I'll come across semi-pros and such who are able to stick mics everywhere on the kit, two overheads, a stereo room, close mics on 6 toms, two on the snare, etc... I have yet to find any one of them mention how they're getting all of those tracks into their computer. I've seen 12+ channel interfaces (even those only really have 8 XLR inputs), but I only really see these guys with 1-2 channel Focusrites or UA Apollos on their desks. Are they just daisy-chaining interfaces thru ADAT? Not that I have the money to buy any more than 8 mics right now, but how would I go about expanding inputs in a way that wont end up being a dead-end down the road. For example, I could buy the Behringer ADA8200 and connect to my interface thru ADAT, but is that really an okay solution? Sorry if this is all over the place, I have recently consumed large amounts of caffeine.
