I'm sure most of you are familiar with Snarky Puppy, but if not...

A few questions here, and these really apply to any studio recording several instruments at once...

How do they do it? Do they use multiple interfaces such as a Scarlett 18i20 on the same rack and send them to the same computer? Or mixer? I'm amazed at the sound quality for a live setting such as this. The engineer/s behind it all must be pretty talented guys. Also, is it assumed that the keyboards go straight to the mixer/ interface and to each person's headphones? Or do you guy think they're amplified?
 
Scarlett 18i20 and a few octopre mk2's is what I use. We have 7 drum mics, 3 sm58's, multiple condenser mics in the room for ambiance, both guitar and bass have DI as well as mic'd cabs, 3 beta 57a's for our 2 sax players and I also play trumpet, keyboards... It never stops... We live record every session.
