Success!
We met yesterday to record our final versions of the pieces and they turned out very nice. After carefully thinking about strategies to record involving everything from a single mic in the middle of the speakers all the way to separate recordings of each part.
Te ideas were all good but we were deciding between better quality vs. better group communication (which was very important due to all the cues). The best idea was used which was using two hard disk mp3 recordings (one for each pair of band members). The mics picked up a stereo recording of the two laptops assigned to each recorder and we were then able to mix 4 channels, controlling levels, while still be able to perform in a live setting
