how to record 3 channels with Tascam HD P2

[Patryk_Rebisz]

Long story short: I'm on location and I need to record 2 person interview (walk&talk) onto Tascam HD P2.
I hope to record wireless mics (Sennheisers) on one track and boom (Sennheiser 416) onto another.
What would be the best way to accomplish it?

Tools i have:
Tascam HD P2
Sennheiser wirelss unit (x2)
Senneheiser 416
MixPre (original)
Rode NTG2 (as back up)

Ideas?

it should be simple really:
with the gear you have, patch the two radio mics into the preMix. pan both inputs the same way (so they mix down to one output)
Plug that output of the the premix into one channel of the tascam, and the boom into the other.

you will be mixing the two radio mics to one channel

Patrick,

I have a 302 not a Mixpre so I'm not sure if you can do this. Can you mix both inputs on the Mixpre to one channel, and input that to one channel on the Tascam? If that can be done, Then input your boom directly to the other Tascam channel. This may be difficult on the hoof.

Option two, rent a 302. You probably didn't want to hear that.
