We've had dozens, if you count all the snippets done. Our Christmas tracks are pretty fucking complicated.
I have no doubt! With all the instrumentations on some of those tracks! My 24 track recorder wouldn't have been enough!
My drum kit has 7 mics of its own. We don't actually (usually) use them all as individual tracks. We use the digital input's slots and record it all as a single track, setting up the levels with a sound check beforehand. We don't have to really fiddle with it much, we've done it quite often so we know which presets to use. This saves a ton of time. It just means I have to play perfectly every time, or possibly have to do the whole thing over again.
Yeah I figure if I ever get a drum mics set I would just record the drums and mix them down to one stereo track and add the rest of the sound afterwards
