hello
i will need to record drums using 4 mics, and since i'm trying to keep this as a low budget operation, i'm hoping that i can rig it up with an $80 mixer that has four mic preamps, instead of having to go out and buy more stand-alone preamps at $60 a pop. so anyway, here's the plan.
behringer vx802 (4 mic pres, two stereo busses)
mic 1 ==> stereo buss 1 ==> pan right ==> input 1
mic 2 ==> stereo buss 1 ==> pan left ==> input 2
mic 3 ==> stereo buss 2 ==> pan right ==> input 3
mic 4 ==> stereo buss 2 ==> pan left ==> input 4
can i use both busses and separate the signals from the mics by panning them? i'm a beginner, so someone please correct me if i'm making a stupid mistake here.
