Add lead guitar to one of the remaining channels and vocals to the<br />
other. You could add lead guitar as part of the original 2 band<br />
tracks by putting his/her amp on the other side of the mix (across<br />
from the rhythm guitarist) but this eliminates the ability to punch.<br />
Possible changes/additions to this system include adding solos by<br />
punching on to the vocal track when there are no vocals, adding other<br />
percussion (e.g., tambourine) by having friends standing in the room<br />
playing them at appropriate distances from the mic while recording<br />
other tracks, adding instruments by mixing them in while mixing down.<br />
This method of recording your band gives a fairly natural, hifi sound<br />
by eliminating generations and phase cancellation created by having<br />
too many mics open in the room at the same time. If your not sure<br />
what an X-Y config. is ask someone because doing this part correctly<br />
is important.<br />

tube amps and cabinets in a 'dead' room. It's very expressive and good<br />
not only for direct input of guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocals but<br />
