Thread Name: single mic technique a la bluegrass band
Subject: single mic technique a la bluegrass band
I know we've talked this issue before - but tie has passed and the technique and technology has evolved some ... so I'd like some recent thoughts.
A fallback to the practice of placing single mic on stage, around which all the players stand to perform live has become popular again - especially for Blugrassers, but for other types of acoustic stringed and vocal music as well. I know there are variatiosn on the single mic technique with, adding one or two, freestanding instrument mics for solos ...
I'm curious - what are folks selecting for those mics? Any Mudcatters using this approach frequently (a couple of Bluegrass festivals I've played use this method, and I liked it).
