nord drum connects with stage 2?

If you want more inputs beyond what the summing DI box can provide, you are limited to a few options. A mixer like what was already previously mentioned. A new interface with more analog inputs, which will cost probably at least twice as much as the one you have now for a good one. Or you could get a compatible multi channel analog to digital converter and utilize some of the unused digital inputs on your interface.

I've run into the same issue with limited analog inputs on my RME Babyface interface. In retrospect, I wish I would have spent the extra several hundred up front for one with more analog inputs. Now I figure I'll just work with what I have somehow until I can afford the high cost of a new Universal Audio Apollo interface with Thunderbolt.
