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.
