using micro BR for vocals only... questions

I sing barbershop (4-part male harmony) and one of my quartet members recently bought this for recording vocals exclusively. 

It has come to my attention that this particular system is not the best for vocals, so my question is:

How can my quartet use this to the best of its and our ability?

Also, I am 23 years old and the man who bought this is about 70-some-odd years old. 

How would I be able to explain to him how to use it?

Thank you for your time,

Greetings,

Nice to see the barbershop style is still alive and well! I'm not sure what you may be comparing the MicroBR to but in its class and price range, it's a fantastic piece of gear to record with. I would assume that your group would only need to record a stereo track of the performance. With this in mind, you simply create a new song and then select the built-in mic as the input, then hit record.

Thats the basic idea. With the MicroBR, you have access to effects like reverb as well as different EQ'ing, compression, and mastering effects for your final product/recording. This may be more than you require for your purposes but is certainly useful for the recording process. The MBR lets you convert your tracks into MP3s which you can then upload to your computer to do with as you please.

I suppose all the rythym and guitar effects would be somewhat useless in your application, but again, the results for recording vocals or any live perforamance can be quite stellar. Check out the examples in the "post your music" section of this forum.

Cheers.
