I'm a newb to recording and I'm thinking of buying a Yamaha MD8 so I can record my band's demo. My question is, though, if I mic the three toms, bass drum, snare, and two cymbals, that's 7 mics (and 7 inputs!) - is there some kind of cable or something that can knock these down to one or two inputs, or would we have to record the drums first and the mix them down to two tracks (or am I completely wrong about everything)?
Cheers,
Isaac
