For the 4 I posted together: Vocals would be a Shure C606 (I don't think I used my warfedale KM3), and guitar be a my Dean Resonator CE (with D'addrio electric 9's) mic'd with a Shure PG57. Both clean into my Boss BR900, room's pretty echo-y so don't really need any reverb.

I've actually looked into getting one of those (Boss BR900). Mostly because I'm more of a button guy, then a mouse and screen kinda guy. They look easier to use anyways. What are your thoughts on it?

Designed by a sound engineer. Complicated as heck I use about 5% of what it can do, but it's handy once you get used to it for doing quick recordings, and has a few backing tracks. It can also do pitch correction, you can create backing tracks like a drum machine, and switch between them for verse, chorus etc. Lots of editing options too. But yeah it's all buried in menus and can be a headache to get around especially if you haven't used it in a while. The built in CD writing.... seriously I used it once to test it - they should really remove it you can just output to your PC/laptop and burn if you want. It might have some uses for an on the go musician, but not for me.
It's a good unit for you by yourself (which I was when I bought it) but only 2 simultaneous inputs. Once we got the band going I really wished that I'd paid the bit extra and gotten one of the models up that can actually operate like a full on mixer (the 1600 actually I think is the only one). The 900 isn't on the boss site anymore, looks like only the 1200 and 1600 are current products.
If I was looking for this again tho.... huh.... Well these units are several years old, I got mine over 5 years ago. There must be something better and more user friendly on the market by now. I'd look around.

The Zoom R16 looks like a good unit with 8 tracks of input, but lacks the drum machine. I guess if you had a drum machine you could just use an input, and it's significantly cheaper than the boss unit too. The Zoom R24 has a drum machine and is not much more. It looks like you can also do USB / PC stuff if you're so inclined. I'd check one out first to see exactly how easy they are to use, but damn this thing is cheap as chips for what you're getting IMHO. I am always a bit dubious of Zoom gear's sound quality, but lately they seem to have done some good stuff. Check one out if you can.
