I’m trying to figure out the best way to route everything to capture rehearsals. Here’s what we have: Band

Band consists of: Bass

Bass, guitar, mandolin, drummer 3, 3 vocalists (bassist and mandolin sing leads and backup for other singer who sometimes plays washboard)

Here’s what we have:

Presonus fireprojectFireproject 8 channel interface 
Connected to pc through FireWire card 
Mackie 12fx12FX mixer 
Two powered monitors 
Hartke amp with xlrXLR out (bassist) 
Fender amp with xlrXLR out (mandolin) 
Orange amp without xlrXLR out (guitarist) 
Mxl 63mMXL 63M condenser microphone 
Bass drum mic 
Sm57SM57 mic 
Nady microphone

The mics we use for vocals are an sm57SM57, sm58SM58, and an sm48SM48. During rehearsals those are going into the makieMackie mixer which is connected to the powered monitors. The monitors have two channels each and also xlrXLR outs. My goals are to have it set up for rehearsals where we can get a decent level for everybody’s instruments and vocals and the from time to time, do more focused multitrack recordings. Thanks

Thanks for any input you may have!
