Down and dirty recording a live jam

BT, that should serve you well. You can easily tell everything that's being played, so any clams will pop right out.

Back when I first got my Yamaha AW16G, I set things up at practice to capture the drums, one guitar, bass and the keyboard. I didn't get vocals or my guitar. My idea was to have a good backing track so I could practice songs on my own. I never got around to doing that but years later with the extra available tracks, I added a couple of guitar parts and vocals. I thought it turned out much better than expected. I sent copies to the guys that I was still in contact with. I think the one guitar player passed, and I have no clue where the keyboard player is. I managed to get about 5 or 6 tracks all together.

This is one of the tracks that I put together with the added parts:
That’s cool. Nice job
 
Yup, those condensers worked well for your setup. Our scenario is different because there's more going on and when I've attempted something similar it just didn't sound good and was difficult to get the levels right.
Ya surprisingly better sounding than I was expecting. No real easy way to balance levels like the snare but I’m only looking for a recording that can help show weaknesses and flaws so we can work on those areas. Unfortunately with us there will be a lot to do lol.
