Are there enough inputs to mic a drum set using 2 overheads, 1 snare/hi-hat mic, 2 mics for the bass drum? 5 total.

Hi, I hope this answer your question. http://products.bose.com/pdf/customer_service/owners/og_l1_compact.pdf

Yes! You can use both inputs as you want, record same instrument using two mics or vocals and instruments, etc. Depending on the instruments you need to set up the Mic/inst swtich to adjunst input levels.

Without trying, I have no clue. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a mixer? For the price of 5 of these, you could get a decent mixer. Otherwise, even if you could essentially create 10 different outputs, I'm not sure there are any programs out there that would be designed to see 10 different audio sources. I could be mistaken. Regardless, I'm willing to bet there''s something out there that can already do what you need it to do, instead of piling up a bunch of external sound cards.

Twisterjester has said it all. If you need more than one XLR (Std mic input) channel, you need to look at other mixers.

If you are talking about 2 audio sources this wouldn't work. you will need mixing equipment.

The only way you could make that work is with a splitter having both microphones feed the 1st (microphone) input. The other inputs will not have a mic preamp. You could use a separate input (not input #1) with a processor that had a LINE OUT, or use an add-on mic-preamp.

There is only one input. I play electronic drums and use a direct box for that input. And my vocal I just use my monitor mix on the rolls from the main mixer. Works fantastic. I totally turn off the drums on my monitor mix that's coming from the main mixer and use the input volume that is on the rolls.

There's only one standard mic input, but there are two aux inputs with 1/4" jacks. You could plug one of the mics into an aux input and run two at the same time.

Yes, but it's not really a very good interface for multitracking. It's basically EXPLICITLY for guitar. If you want to multitrack drums or something you CANNOT do that with this. There isn't enough analog I/O (unless you have a mixer with enough channels and at least 2 buses to send those channels out to Pro Tools. But if you have a drum sampler or virtual instrument, yep. Works just fine. It's a full fledged interface.

Yes, you can. I record to my 24 track digital studio with great results. You need to consider compressing the drums on the way in or on playback/mix-down to get them to sit in the mix better.

We use ours very successfully for vocals ..Both channels .. regularly in room holding about 75 or more .. With amped guitar & electric piano .. never had to use beyond 75 % or less on volume & no problem hearing lyrics .. must have good mics. Have no experience with drums

As far as sound quality goes, its awesome. The part where it lags is on on muliti track recording. I say this because you can't record seperate tracks individually like you can on a digital recorder. You can run 6 drum mics, guitar cab, bass, and vocals and whatever else in simultaneously and be fine but they are all going yo be down to left or right channels. You can go back and add overbubs with no problem but if you everything on its own channel so you can go back in and protools it, its not gonna be so easy. But for what I use it for it is an awesome unit and I highly recommend it for recording practices and shows. If you are trying to make a good HQ demo, get a tascam or something similar.

all the drums are double trigger, head and rim. I hate hitting the rim by accident and triggering a chime, etc... so I bought splitters that split the stereo input into two mono inputs, and ended up nearly doubling the set. it was awesome until the tornado hit. I miss that set.

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

That shouldn't be a problem. I have had two mics attached to a single camera and it worked fine. Adding a music source is just another input and shouldn't be any different that a third mic.

If it's the only mic you're using, probably back in the room, about 8-10 feet away. Make sure you're compressing the hell out of the signal... I've never tried this on drums but wouldn't be surprised if it's too sensitive and is prone to distortion. I haven't seen a USB mic that can handle a drum kit. A better drum/general purpose mic is the Rode stereo mic... The Rode iXy is great too. But the Apogee is the best sounding USB mic I've ever used by far for vocals.

You need a mic preamp with in built phantom power . It should be a minimum of 15 Volts and can be up to 48 volts max. For drum use,48 V is better. It has an omni directional sensitivity. Will pick up room ambiance. Note that the max spl is 127dB for 1% distortion and so position may be critical for good sound. Has a very flat response and should sound good.
