so i have the echo layla, my band also has a mackie dfx12 mixer, we have the computer and software, now where do we start, we would like to be able to have 8 mics on the drums, so i was wondering if mackie was going to suffice? not only that but i would like everything to record to the computer as individual tracks so that i may tweak each channel if i need to.

I was at guitar center and the guy recommended a presonus 8 mic preamp unit, we could just plug the mics into the preamp and from the outputs on the preamp go to the inputs of the layla.

what other options do i have if any, we would like to maybe use the mixer if we can't we can always exchange it for something better. anyways i think thats enough questions for now
 
you do not need 8 mics for drums. 4 should be more than enough. many engineers have made with two or three.

plug the mics into the mackie, plug the mackie into the layla. and you're set!

good luck
