Hope I'm in the right spot...  LE 8.5 - I'm a noob.  I want to record live acoustic drums.  I'm using an Allen & Heath ZED-22 hooked to a laptop.  I've got nine mics running thru the board, 6 for the drums, 3 for cymbals.  I don't understand what I'm supposed to use for each input as my only choices are left & right mic and stereo mic.  How do I differentiate each piece? 
 
Let me rephrase that, how does the software know which mic is for each track?  Stated another way, I've got a Bass Drum track, a Snare Drum track, 2-High Tom tracks, 2- Low Tom tracks, 2-Overhead Cymbal tracks, and a Hi-Hat track - with only left/right, or stereo mic input, how does the software know which mic is associated with each track?  I know this can be done because I've done it in a studio before; however, I was the drummer and have no idea how the sound guy set it up.  I've got my own software now, obviously.  He was running Cubase, I believe, but this software should do it, too.  Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the A&H only outputs a stereo signal, so you won't be able to record each drum on seperate tracks regardless of SONAR's ability to do so.
From their web site:
"ZED-22FX is ideal for groups who need to travel light. Featuring configurable USB audio in/out makes it easy to capture stereo recordings."
 

Well, that's the last thing I needed to hear, that's for sure!  That certainly explains it.  I'm sorry to say I didn't think about that when I bought the board.  It is a great board, though.  Thank you for taking the time, Greg.  I really appreciate it.

If you just bought it, maybe you can return it and trade it in for an audio interface that can output multiple channels.
I like Focusrite.
