This is quite a big setup and I don't think it
will fit in our budget, so if
we could find a solution to buy it partially and then complete it aftewards,
it would be perfect.(2 inputs would be fine as a start, since we can just use
two SM57 to record all the instruments and use our existing analog system to
amplify the instruments that need it). Also, a physical control surface would
be a plus...
Have a look at my "el-cheapo howto", that presents a way to get into
multitrack recording very cheaply.

I am using this to record my drumkit with Ardour with 6 simultaneous channels.
El-cheapo should give you a good and affordable start, and it will
give you flexibility to postpone the investement on the multitrack
soundcard until later.
