how do i route my gear?

[StudioMxpx]

ok i have the Yamaha Mg Mixer and the delta 44 sound card. Before i use to plug 4 mics into the mixer and run the 4 incerts out to the delta 44.

Is their a diffrent way to route this so i can have more channels like 6 instead of 4? I wanna have 6 drum tracks and then go out to 4 tracks into the delta 44. can i mix and pan the drum tracks with the mixer so i have a even sound and then go out into the 44 ith 4 ins? if that possible how do i do it..what sends do i use? im a newbie kindda but new to this. thanks!

You can plug the six mics into the MG, and then run a stereo (2 track) out to the 44 then use the AUX outs to the 44.

Yeah, you should be able to use pan and aux to have a virtual four out mixer.
