I'd use 2 SM58 mics with 2 mic stands. Then I'd put the mics about 15-25 feet apart or more and have them both facing the side of the tracks, or both pointed toward your subject. A DAT will have 2 mic inputs for left/right stereo recording. On a minidisc recorder you've got that little 1/8" stereo plug (miniplug), and you would be using a stereo cable to come out of that plug and split to 2 separate cables for each mic. (There would be a few adaptors to get for the minidisc too, it's like adaptor hell). I've got a few pages on other ways to record in stereo, but I rely on this method alot, it works great for recording live music as well. To save the most ca***hough, I'd try renting the equipment for the weekend if you get the chance. I used to live in PA in Poconos, went to Philly alot and I know there are a few decent sound companies around there. If you call around on Friday, you can probably get a rental DAT with mics, stands and cabling for a decend 1 day price and use it the whole weekend & return it Monday. In Seattle I can rent a DAT & goodies for about $50 a day. The bigger sound companies can probably get you a better deal. It's about the best way to save the cash and get sounds what you want. Have fun and Good luck recording. <br /> Pete
