My recording equipment list is as follows:

1) Sony MZ-R70 Player/Recorder

2) SM 57's, 58's

3) 12 Channel Mixer

4) Portastudio MKIII (new)

Can I go from the mic's to the board, to the recorder?
Would this work and/or work fine?

Would I need a compressor or anything like that?

Would it be better if I went to the board to the 4 Track then the MD Recorder?

Im looking to record my bands demo (Drums, Guitar, Bass, Vocals).

Thanks
 
Record your seperate tracks to the Portastudio. This allows you to record multiple tracks. Then you mix those tracks together, and record a stereo mix on your MD player.
 
so basically dump all into the portastudio and mix down to md. I got it.

Now would it be efficent to go through the mixer into say channel one on the porta studio so I can get more mic's on the drums?

OR would it be better to mic the drums into the mixer then into channel 1 and then record bass on 2, guitar on 3 and vocals on 4.

Is this stuff as simple as it seems?
 
Record drums on 6 channels or howver many you need
then mix down the drums to 2 channels (left and right panned) then you will have 6 channels left over for your guitar bass and vocals.

If you're too lazy this was my set up when I had 8 tracks:
1 - bass drum
2 -snare
3 - overhead 1
4 - overhead 2
5 -bass
6 -guitar
7 -vocals
8 -keyboard or whatever

you can do ALRIGHT with only 4 mics on the drums.
