It wasn't too difficult on the recording side, I just needed to get my preamp working with it and get it so that I had what I wanted going off to separate buses and stuff. As for suddenly being able to individually treat eight channels of drums though, and learning how to mix them, that was one of the biggest challenges of my life Obviously it's a never ending process, but it is tough getting up to what you consider to be a good starting sound, from which you can use as a platform for this project or that project.
