Separate monitor mixer setup..

Quick questions... I know that some groups have separate monitor mixers on stage. Just curious, but how do they get the inputs of the FOH board and the monitor board to correspond? Where does the signal split? Would I have to run a cable from every channel from the FOH to the inputs on the Monitor mixer? Or does it go through the monitor board first? Just a little confused...

Drum kit preference from a mixer's POV

From your point of view, do you prefer mixing an acoustic or electronic drum kit? An acoustic kit might be more challenging and fun (mic choice, placement, mixing w/ gates, comps etc.), but an electronic kit removes stage noise and gives far more control over the overall mix. What do you think and have you had the opportunity to mix both?

Can an amplifier be used as a preamp and plugged into a mixer?

Hello,

While I'm fairly comfortable on the playing end of things, I know nothing at all about recording. I was given a BOSS BR-900CD as a gift, and am attempting to make some use of it right now. I also got a Fishman Loudbox Mini (acoustic amplifier) for Christmas, and it has an external speaker jack.

My question:

Can someone recommend a mixer for me? (computer based set up)

I've got an M-audio audiophile 2496 interface, and I was thinking about going with a Berhinger XENYX 1204, but am open to other options. Looking for affordable.

Just looking to do one track at a time recording, with probably a SM57>mixer>2496 interface>Reaper.

thx
