Re: looping with a mic

[Ian Popperwell <popperwell@iname.com>]

Hi,

I used to use my DL4 with my miced up flute (close clip-on omni condenser) 
and
had such problems with build-up of noise from monitors and audience. 
There's a
really critical level, over which FOH and monitors made it imposible to 
create
loops with much subtlety and definition. I agree about gates and volume
pedals,
also monitor levels, position on stage also help.

I now use my wind synth system and its wonderful not to wory about noise 
and
feedback - that any "noise" that I create is deliberate and part of what 
I'm
doing.

Ian.
