hi, i'm new at this and have a fairly strange/basic question:
if you have an audio interface like motu 828 or 896, which has 8 channels line in and line out can you plug in each drum mic into the 8 inputs, line to the computer through firewire, and have each microphone record to a seperate channel in Logic or Reason...or maybe even Ableton?
example:
line 1 - Bass drum mic - record in channel 1
line 2 - Hihat - record in channel 2
....and so on

Bear in mind that the 828 can only amplify two microphones; need any more, and you'll have to get external preamps.
The 896 has mic pres on all channels as far as I recall. It's probably a better buy if you can afford it, anyways - due to the higher sample rates available.

Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

I record my Jazz trio into live using an 828. I run all mics through a Mackie board, dumping the line level outputs into the inputs of the 828.
