If all you are doing is stereo archive recording the Griffin usb Imic
(ebay, compusa,apple stores about 30$)
does it
and does it better that 1000$ worth of other interfaces I have owned
(USBPre and M-audio firewire 410)

If your mixer puts out a line level stereo signal, the least costly
solution is probably the M-Audio Transit (around $70).

Really a sensible thing to do in cases like this point the OP to
DAW-Mac, where, admittedly, the Imic is not a hot item, but where the
USB Pre and the FW410 have been seen to work. There are zillions of
possible solutions for a query like this.

thanks for alot of the suggestions and will check them all out. I see
alot of pgms out there that show multiple tracks with the lead on one
track, tenor, soprano, etc.. all on seperate tracks. I'm I getting into
big money when trying to accomplish that? So in a nutshell, I guess i'm
looking at dropping each line (mike/instrument) into it's own track.
