I have an XL1 and have been asked to tape a ballet. For the music I am taking a direct feed from the sound board but this
line will not include and audience reaction, applause etc. I am wondering if there is a way to rig the stereo mic that comes stock with the XL1 so I can record both the xlr line in from the board and the nat sound from my onboard mic. What setting do I change in the menu? I've messed around with the settings and haven't been able to figure it out. What am I missing. Any and all help is appreciated. Let me know what I would need to invest in and the best way to go about it. I'm scheduled to do this on
Monday.
HELP PLEASE.

All you need to do is set the XL1 to 12-bit, 4-channel recording.
This process is carefully described in an article on the Watchdog... see "XL1 Audio Step by Step, Part Four: a description of the step by step process of how to record four channels of audio with your XL1" -- link from Articles Menu under Microphone & Audio. Hope this helps,
