I have had pretty good results just plugging stuff up and making it all work.
I think its time to start doing it correctly.

I bought a Yamaha 3210 monitor mixer for my home studio. Its got 32 channels and 10 buss channels.
It seems a great match for me. I have lots of instruments, and an 8 channel interface.
So I want to run the 8 mono bus channels to my interface. That way I can send any input channel, or combination of channels to any input channel on my interface, easily. The left over bus on the 3210 mixer is a stereo bus. I will use that to carry the main mix to my Monitors.

I'm quickly running into all the details.   Such as how to treat the unbalanced outputs I have, to pair with  balanced mixer inputs.   Like My Rhodes.  Actually I have 2 Rhodes.  One with an amp, and one without.
The one without an amp sounds great run through my Behringer mixer with Xenyx pre-amps.  Ive been reading the manual on the Yamaha 3210m. It says nothing about a pre amps, but it does mention a "head amp"
It has Low z xlr inputs,  phantom power, and High z 1/4" inputs.  Hopefully I can plug my dynamic mics in that way.  
I know I am asking things that have been asked a million times before. My previous studio set up sounded great, but I think I mostly just got lucky, and had mostly newer stuff.  Im ready to learn to do it correctly, and my collection is becoming varied, old and new, digital and analog.   Including a 1949 Hammond that I hope to pick up this week.
Where to start?
Thanks
Brian
