I've been thinking of the berhinger ADA8000 to go with my motu mk2 828 for recording live shows. BUt I'd like to get more ideas for mic pre's, i.e. do they have more afferct than what mics you have, is it better to have different mic pre's for options, or should I get something with eight in's to have better portibility consistantcy and control. What do you use, for what. If I have a limited budget I could get a lot of stuff(nicer mics) for the money I would save bying a ADA8000. A motu rep recomended m-audio's octane and Focusrite's octoPre. What do you think?

You're always going to do better going with quality not quantity. I would not touch that Behringer unit. If you are dead set on an 8 channel unit, go either with the Focusrite that you were talking about, or go with the Presonus Digimax LT...that thing is the bomb! I use those preamps on drums all the time (the digimax) right alongside with my Avalon and API preamps and the digimax doesn't skip a beat.
If you can do with one good preamp, in that price range, I would recommend something like a Sebatron, an RNP, or a Groove Tubes Brick (good Bass/guitar DI also). You will get a lot better sound if you stay away from that Behringer!
