Channel 1 is fine, and the snare in channel two is fine, but then plugging another mic into a non-preamped input of channel two is where things get funky.
In your profile it says you have an MR8, which appears to have a couple of preamps itself...if you are recording into your computer and using CEP (getting all this from your profile) you could possibly plug the third (and possible fourth) mic into the MR8 to preamp them, and run that signal directly out into one of the stereo line channels of the mixer, then run the mixers stereo signal into your computer.
Seems kinda funky, but given the gear you have, it might be the best choice.
