The only way to be certain is to have the V3 be the master word clock and run a line to an ad1k or other device capable of locking on to an external word clock.  

Make any sense?

again, I'd say run two separate decks... it's much easier to screw up a matrix-on-the-fly.

at least with two separate recording chains you're (almost) guaranteed to get something

ok, so run the hypers XY90 > v3 > laptop and then board(guitars, amps, vocals) > ua5 > d8 ?

That's what I'd do

i think this is a grand idea...since the drums won't be in the board mix at all you may want to position your mics in the room where they can pick up the drums a bit better....another suggestion would be to find some mics to borrow and mic the drum kit and put it through the board.  maybe these guys know other people in bands that have a drum mic kit?  i know our drummer has them, but he's sort of a gear slut himself!

definitely matrix after the fact, that way you don't have to worry about any timing delay effects showing up on the master recording.

I know a producer in atlanta and if you send me the tapes, he said he would have them professionally mixed for me (whatever I send him, he can do HD, DAT, ADAT, CD........) let me know and ill be glad to hook it up

jon do you have the possability of doing a multiple mic mix?

eureka!
