analog inputs

[henry_mullis]

OK,
I am a CEP user and am still somewhat new to the whole computer recording scene. Anyway, I mainly record drums and I have a plain soundblaster soundcard. The only way I have devised to record drums (let's say 8 microphones) is to run a mixing board to the line-in jack on the soundcard. I then use 8 mics and record them all to one track on CEP. I am looking for a way to record each mic as a seperate channel (So I can edit and enhance each drum individually). I was thinking that maybe the Delta 1010 would be a way to accomplish this (since it has 8 analog inputs). Anyway, I would appreciate someone's response.
Thanks

Yeah, that's right - you need one channel on your soundcard for each audio input, so if you've got 8 mics on your kit, you need 8 analog inputs on your soundcard. But you need a preamp for each mic too, so that means a mixer with 8 ins as well.

It costs more to mic drums.

You need a good room too.

Plus drums are difficult to move from place to place.

Sure you wouldn't rather take up the violin instead?

what kind of mixer do you have?
and whats your price range?
and this isnt really a CEP question!
