found this somewhere and its a good start...just substitute the mics you have.....
"Harvey Gerst, the owner and engineer of Indian Trail Recording Studio in Texas has this simple 3 mic drum technique. He's assuming (2) SM-58's and a Rode NT-1. SM-57's, Sennheisser 421's, or similar mics will work in place of the 58's, and any large diapragm condensor should work in place of the Rode.
Take the ball off one of the 58s and place it where it can pickup the snare and high hat. Point it towards the center of the snare. Make SURE the drummer can't hit it with his sticks. Stick the other 58 inside the kick drum, about 4 inches from where the beater hits the head, but at an angle to the head. Put the Rode over the drummer's right shoulder about a foot above his head, pointed at the mid tom. (You'll experiment with which tom to point it at after you hear the test recording.)
Add a little treble eq to all three mics, roll off a little bottom on the snare. Set peak levels roughly as follows:
Snare - around -10dB on the meter,
Kick - around -4dB on the meter,
Overhead - around -6dB on the meter.
Have the drummer play for about 2 minutes while you record. Listen to everything. IF something needs to be brighter, add any hi eq that is needed, or roll off some bottom, or move the mic around. DO NOT add any eq to make thing more "bassy". If it needs more bass, you'll add that later during the final mix. Move any mics if needed.
Have the drummer play again for about 2 minutes while you record. Listen to everything again. Once you're within about 80% of the sound you want, STOP!! You can get that last 20% later - you're ready to record. When you mix down the final in stereo, pan the snare a little to one side and the overhead to the other side. Leave the kick centered.
Don't add any drum eq in mixdown until AFTER you hear how the drums fit in with the other instruments. A little reverb on the snare track will add a lot of warmth to the sound. Don't overdo! On the tracks you want a warmer sound on, back off the top end a little on the snare and overhead. "

as far as the signal showing in software, you have to go into the settings of your software and let it know what inputs you are trying to record from.......
