Re: [Harp-L] vocal mic with band

["Mike and Beverly Rogers" <mbrogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had far less feedbadck trouble playing through the P.A., taan playing
through my amp.  My band gets pretty loud and my Shure 58 doesn't feed.
I've also overcome feedback with my amp, due to the efforts of our
drummer-soundman's efforts to eliminate feed before we start.  This has to
do with positioning the amplifier,and cupping the vocal mics for feed, until
it's eliminated.  Bullfrog

> When I'm sittin' in with an electric band, it seems that the vocal mics
are set so you have to be right on top of them to be heard.  I assume this
is done to prevent feedback.  Unfortunately, it also prevents the preferred
"acoustic" playing distance of at least a few inches to allow full hand
effects.  Is this just "how it is" or is there a way around it?

that's not the same playing style; a ring-style mic allows an
"approximation" of acoustic, hand effect style, but I'm wondering more about
the possibility of staying with a mic on a stand.  For example, is there a
different kind of mic that kept well away from the monitors that would pick
up the harmonica sound from a few inches away w/o feedback?  Or do I just
need to ask the sound person to turn me up?)
