Do you need to know exactly for everthing or just some general ideas?

well it looks like you got the keyboard section covered but you need definitely need a good large diaphram condenser mic. Your generally not going to like the sound of using a 57 or c1000 on vocals, especially if your recording a choir. You should be able to mic most instruments with your 57s although you'll be short handed on the drums. You really need a decent condenser as a drum overhead.

check out studio projects c1 or c3 depending on your budget. also look into the marshall v67 which is going for 99 bucks at mars right now. that'd give you a decent condenser to use for vocals, acoustics, overheads ect...

Hello again Tmay!

You can have the 8 tracks of your Mackie directly connected to the Delta, and separate, so you don't have to plug and unplug all the time.

Just use the 4 inserts on the rear till you reach the first "click", don't plug em full inside...there you have the first 4 channels in the Delta.

Then use Alt outputs 1&2 on the rear and mute channels 5&6 in the mixer and pan nº 5 hard left and nº 6 hard right...there you go with channels 5&6 in the Delta (if you mute them, the signal is routed to the alt outputs...)

Then you can assign tracks 7&8 to the master output and pan 7 hard L and 8 hard R and use the main output for each of them... you have tracks 7 & 8 on the Delta...you still have a Cue Mix output...

good routing can help!

Peace...
