I have an 1824C, so eight mic inputs. I have upgraded my drum mics so that I would need at least 11 mic inputs to cover my setup. Is there a way for me to use an additional PreSonus interface in conjunction with my 1824C to get my desired amount of inputs? I’ve seen similar questions asked in the forums, but usually those are related to different manufacturer interfaces, and I would like to use all PreSonus. I’m gathering that audio aggregation on my Mac is the best option, but I’d like to know for sure before proceeding with an unsupported option. Or would going with a 16 channel mixer for recording make more sense? Would using two interfaces make more sense in Logic? Thanks

Yes, just create an aggregate device in the Apple Midi & Audio tool

I would love to know the answer to this question as well?  

This is my exact situation as well being a drummer, I also have a 1824c interface and require extra inputs as my kit set up has expanded with the need for extra mics  / line ins for when playing with other musicians / instruments.

Another 8 inputs (16 in total) would be ideal
