Re: Open mics + Looper + Live=Feedback?
Hi Christopher!
Wicked situation...
suggestions:
1) Use as few open mics as possible. Perhaps one wireless mic that you
wear
is better than several stationary mics.
If you can, keep unused mics off or padded down. I use the pad switches on
my Tascam board. (Most of the time I actually remember to unpad them
before
I use them...)
2) Keep the mics away from your monitors. At least have the "dead-side" of
the mics pointed at the monitors. If possible, use headphones or earphones
to monitor.
3) Keep the monitor volume as low as possible. I find small,
mic-stand-mounted monitors work better than floor monitors, at least as far
as reducing feedback.
4) Stay behind the house speakers.
Hope this helps.
