Here I run the mikes through a Behringer Eurorack 802A (when I don't forget the external power supply at home) on their way to the soundcard. One reason I want the external interface is for those times I need to take the studio on the road, as we did back at New Year's. The other reason is because I want to have the option of editing individual tracks for a the band after a "live" recording. We recently had a huge disaster with that, and I've spent prolly 15 hours on that one song alone since.

I really need to spend the money and get a Fishman or something put in my guitar for live gigs. Miking it is a pain. I bought strap-ons for the fiddles :)

Yeah, the multimix sends 8 channels with separation over firewire although I never push more than 3 at a time. The room in which I record (re: my office) isn't great acoustically for separation so I get a lot more bleed than I should which can make editing tracks a pain... but really, I'm just looking for demo quality on this rig anyway so I don't worry too much about it. I multi-mic the instruments just to fill out the sound profile. I also tend to clone however many tracks I have on the guitar and pan one set slightly left and one side slightly right and EQ them slightly differently for effect. Bouzouki (or high range instruments) I tend to pan more right... I like them in my right ear better, but I suspect that's a personal foible.

I typically use very little of the direct pickup in an instrumental mix, but its nice for flavor.

I use Martin Thinline 332s in the Martin and zouk. The Goodall has a LR Baggs of some sort, but I'm not enamored of it.
