Re: [Harp-L] Single mic vocal + harp setup?

[David McCurry <david.mccurry@xxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

I've used a 58 forever. Since it has such a strong proximity effect I find
I can back off and use hand effects to shape the sound for backing a
vocalist and then really cover it and cup for solos or a stronger sound.
One nice rich and warm EQ setting usually does it, rolling off the highs.
