Seeking your advice on Micing a mandolin (live)

Hi, this question is for a live performance. I play a mandolin and am interested in a high-endmountable condensor such as a DPA 4099. Planning to use a wireless body pack, which I'd plug into a stage mixer. Here's my question - I'd like a foot switch to attenuate the signal depending when I'm not taking a lead. I guess I can buy stuff and patch it together, is that what I should do?

Mics for Live work

We just had a couple of mics in stock when we started. so I've been picking up deals on various mics to try out different stuff. I thought I'd post results so far. I am Micing clean and scream vocals, backing vocals, at high volumes. I also am singing Coldplay, 3DG, Oasis, etc. Rush (ha ha) and originals, clean vocals.

Record Korg MS2000B into Ableton live 8

Hello

I am trying to record my Korg Ms2000b into Ableton live 8.

What kind of gear do I need to make this happen? I have a m-audio 1X1 midi interface running two midi cables into the Korg, but I can't get any sound from my speakers nevermind the ability to record it. I have the track armed and preferences adjusted to recognized the interface.
