Recording vocals with speakers on 2

The buss has some eq/compression sort of like a real world scenario .. left all other effect off.

I've done this to good effect with recording small choirs to backing tracks. A lot easier than getting 12 headphones running.

I don't even bother with the null pass until the end of the session, that way any adjustments I make in the session will null.

You can't record with any compression as it will mess up the cancellation with the null pass.

I've also recorded small groups by placing a speaker to the side of a figure 8 mic. I get the speaker close to the mic, 12"-18". You can squeeze in up to 6 singers by using both sides of the fig 8. The isolation is pretty good even without a null pass.

It's important with both these techniques to have a music bed with similar balance to the finished mix and doesn't contain any click/guide tracks that you don't want to hear in the finished mix.
