I sent two vocal mics to channels two and three on a yamaha 16 channel mixer, panned them both hard left. I sent left out of the yamaha to line in track 1 of a Boss Br-1180 digital recorder. I sent the left line out of the boss directly to a crown amp that was connected to a jbl cabinet for monitoring the vocals. I sent a Roland dr-10 hyper cardioid mic to channel 4 on the yamaha mixer, panned hard right and sent main right on the yamaha to line in on track 2 of the recorder. I placed the roland mic between the bass amp and drums. I faced the guitar amp toward the roland mic. I recorded about 30 seconds of a song, listened to the mix and adjusted the mic placement. I did this 3 times before getting a desirable mix. We then hit record and let it fly. We recorded 10 songs like this and I was really surprised by the sound when I got the Boss home and hooked it up to a pair of Edirol near field monitors. The vocals are scarey clean on track 1. A little muffled on track 2 because the monitor was facing away from the roland mic but by bringing up track 1 into the mix...Presto...there it is!...a really good sounding mix.
