Designing on a blog

Let's try to go through what we have. This is a picture of a pair of my sister's cats, Pippin and Nikki. I believe.


The Yamaha DM1000 has:
8 group busses, 8 aux busses, stereo bus, solo bus
12 omni outs (on XLR)
16 normal analog inputs (on XLR)
4 "omni" analog inputs (on XLR)

We have 9 actors and three musicians (electric keyboard, cello, percussion.)

We will assume that we actually have all the speakers for the house which we need.
So what we're looking at is an input list like this (this isn't, of course, the order they'll be in):
1. wx mic
2. wx mic
3. wx mic
4. wx mic
5. wx mic
6. wx mic
7. wx mic
8. wx mic
9. wx mic
10. wx mic b/u
11. wx mic b/u
12. computer sfx 1
13. computer sfx 2
14. cello
15. keyboard 1
16. keyboard 2
17. percussion mix 1
18. percussion mix 2
19. floor mic mix 1
20. floor mic mix 2

And for outputs we need:
1. zone 1
2. zone 2
3. zone 3
4. zone 4
5. zone 5
6. zone 6
7. vocal-only mix for "band"
