phase issues?

[mikgag]

Let's say I'm recording band practices live in the room using 2 PZMs. If I run the vocal mics into a small mixer along with the PZMs, and then run the vocals out 1 aux bus to our vocal amp for sound, and then record the whole mixer chain(2 vocal mics + 2 PZMs) will there be any phase issues do ya think?

yeah...your not recording an album are you? that would be a big mess if you ask me.

When you say "run the vocals out 1 aux bus to our vocal amp for sound," what do you mean exactly? If you're piping the vocals back into the room, then both the PZMs and the vocal mics might be picking that up.

Anytime time you have more than one mic, you can run into phase issues. Personally, I think it's hard to know without seeing the setup.

try it and see. You can just move the tracks in your DAW if you hear problems. Assuming you are recording the tracks separately.
There's always going to be phasing...just whether it's good or bad phasing depends on what you want.
