The vocal mics are the hardest part by far. I'm doing a lot of gain staging and trimming to subtly (ish) remove the bleed when they aren't singing, and I have their reverb in a separate channel behind a noise gate, so it is only verbing the loudest parts of their singing. That may be the best I can manage.

But honestly it's very listenable. I'm going to try to put together a decent live collection of the best of each track from the 3 nights.

I have acquired 44GB of raw audio files from my hobby/therapy band's fundraiser gigs at the rural VFW last month. So I'm triaging and trying to make a decent live sound with only the 7 channels from the mixer: e-drums, guitar, guitar, bass, keys (all DI) and 2x vocals. And both of the vocals have a LOT of bleed.

There's some cool fun tricks you can use with small timing offsets to make mono tracks sound stereo, and reverb covers a multitude of sins.
