@TheRevJonnyNemo Are you saying that my mixes sound tinny?

The issue is that buying an interface that handles all of the inputs for a set of drum mics can really be expensive. My mixer was 115$ and handles my set of 6 mics (2 pencil condensers, 1 snare, 1 kick, & 2 toms) very well. Of course the sound isnt the greatest as I can only EQ the overheads/kick & snare and the toms are plugged in through XLR-quarter inch cables. But It was cheap and sounds decent for the price. And on the plus side mixers can be used for other audio needs when you've upgraded!

@GaragebandandBeyond say you have speakers monitors plugged into you audio interface will you only hear the stuff you record or everything from your Mac

very clear , what is very important here is to get a very good audio interface that provide phantom power to your condencer mic. Thanks

The proof is in the pudding. You can't argue with results. The Sunshine Superman stuff is rock-solid.

@BNROEC NO! You would need an interface to connect several XLR miss. You can ONLY use 1 USB mic at a time with GB.

@GaragebandandBeyond at first, i'm not a miss, im mister, :P. so if i have an interface with 3 slots, what model would you recommend? and so, the 1 USB mic is also in a different channel?

@BNROEC That was supposed to say XLR mics. It was auto corrected... anyway
You can't use an interface and a USB Mic at the same time.
For mics I like CAD audio.

so, how can i record a drum track with separate channels? do i need an interface with 10 or 12 inputs? cuz io have the tc electronics desktop konnekt 6 with only 2 inputs and i'm going to start recording drums hopefully.

@ZickMusic You should probably watch my video called "How to record drums with 2 mics!"
