Alright I am new here, so I'll start off by saying hi and introducing myself.
I'm Jordan, I'm a college student and I live in Montreal. Right now I am in Europe for the summer which is part of what my problem is.
Before I left my friends and I were always trying to get a podcast going but never ended up getting anything off the ground for various reasons, often involving a bad setup.
We have some pretty good equipment actually, all our equipment was givin to us from radio stations since it was stuff that they dont use anymore, I dont know any brands of the stuff wee've got but I am googling to find you pictures :P
We have 1 of these

We have 2 of these Neumanns

1 of these I know its Sennheiser (i remember the brand because I use to sell headphones :P)

And then 2 more Sony mics which arent all that great.
This voice processor

And this mixer which I really hate because it isn't enough lines.

But the trick here is we are trying to make a recording studio/podcast studio in one, and we are trying to keep it as budget as possible because we are kind of running low on money.
But the idea is to be able to connect all of our equipment to be able to do some multi track recording.
Idealy we would be able to have 2 possible setups.
1 where we would be able to have 5 mics set up in the room so that we could do a podcast, where we could possibly bring in someone over the phone (which would probabally just be someone on speaker phone so its not that big of a deal to add)
But the second where it gets more confusing.
We also want to be able to record music. This set up is a bit more confusing we need to be able to hook up all this
1 Guitar
1 Guitar
1 Guitar (Or Mic depending)
1 Bass
1 Vocal Mic
1 Vocal Mic
1 Keyboard
1 Electronic Drum set
Now software wise we have Adobe Audition.
Our 5line mixer isn't cutting it anymore and we need to move up to something, but really don't have alot of money to blow on it. Since we still need to buy the electronic drum set :P
So we were thinking about something like this

But the thing is I really like the idea of multi track recording in Audition, because right now whenever we record all the vocal lines/instruments are mixed in and it makes editing difficult.
I was looking for soundcards that have 8 inputs but they are all like 300+$ I realise that we're gonna have to spend some money here on this but I would prefer something less expensive.
I was hoping some of you have experience in multitrack recording in Audition and could maybe help me out here, for example lets say instead of this we picked up a few soundcards that have like 2line ins (maybe 4 sounds cards with 2 line ins each) would we be able to use Audition to record each line at the same time from each of the sound cards, or maybe you've got a suggestion on a better sollution for us.
Thanks alot in advance!

Upon Froogleing the Neumann mic :P
Maybe we could sell one of those to someone on this site, it seems to be worth more than I imagined... I just called Canada from Croatia to confirm the model and it is that.
