If you're playing at a theatre or Arena, or the engineer can give you a dedicated stereo or mono mixdown, sure.
Most clubs and small venues don't have much in FOH except vox and kick drum. Very little guitar or bass. The sound guy is mixing to the room, not the recording. 9 times out of 10, a raw SBD feed is damn near unlistenable.
The Tascam DR-2D (as well as the DR-40 and Zoom h4n) has a 4 track capability, so I usually take the board feed and the omni mic source and I just post mix them in Pro Tools.
The omni mics are usually the basis of the recording, then I bring in the SBD and pan until the vocals sound "right".
I can post a couple sample if you like.
