A pair is easiest; I don't know what's best. If you close mic each
instrument, then I don't think you'd have noticeable phase issues, but
you'd need at least 6 mics and setup time increases. If it's a jam,
why not concentrate on playing and just throw up the 2 mics in a
sensible spot? The more time I spend messing around in software,
checking levels, etc., the less musical I feel. YMMV.
I would guess that after a few sessions, you'd get a good idea of
where everyone should sit and where you should place the mics. Maybe
you'd even improve your own dynamics.
I'm most likely talking out my rear here anyway...

Ahh, so 2 channels is the way to go? I'd love to be able to change the
relative volume of the instruments afterwards as i've got a habit of
playing a little too loud vs the lead singer ;) Also our lead
guitarist is often way too quiet. Though if everyone has there own mic
i guess you get strange phase effects? A pair of condensers is best?
Non-matched ok? Paul Coccoli wrote:
Because the OP wants an get a stereo mix of a jam session easily
without phase issues. Plus he already has an audio interface with 2
mic pres.

Use 2 mics in XY:
