Hi, I've never recorded drums before, even though I'm a drummer and have had a soundcard for a while i used it mostly for outputting stuff to headphones or monitors to play along with.
I have a presonus firebox, it's got two preamps for 2 xlr inputs, and has phantom power for the 2 xlr inputs, it also has 2 regular 1/4 inputs with no preamps. I plan on buying a mixer/preamp, but i've got a quick begginner question:
I want to use at least 4 mics at once, i've got a beta 52, sm57, and samson co1 and co2, but i also have access to a lot of other dynamic mics i can borrow
My original plan was to use 2 mics directly into the soundcard with the bult in preamps, then run another 2 through either a cheap behringer xenyx mixer, or two ANT MP preamps, but then i got to thinking if I could use even more mics,
is it possible on any mixers to plug in a few mics (maybe 2 or 3) in, but output them all through the same, single channel/cable? I know i couldn't multitrack those mics, but that way i could use even more mics for drums, and just share them between the 2 line inputs on my firebox
thanks
