Hi there,
I have read several articles on recording drums with 3 mics, i currently have one dynamic mic and one condenser. I am using the dynamic on the kick and i have another condenser on order(same model as i already have so i will have a matched pair) and i will use 2 condensers as 2 overhead mics. I have an audio interface with two xlr/ 1/4 inch inputs so i can only put 2 out of my 3 mics into my interface so what would be the best way of getting my 3 mics into my interface. I assumed the obvious thing to do would to be to buy a mixer, plug the mics into that and then plug the mixer into my interface. Does anybody else have any recomendations on other ways of routing my mics or what mixer to use if i need one?
Thanks
