Hi! Most of you probably also work as engineers or simply perform live. That's why I'd like to ask you a question regarding to feedback reduction.

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?

I are a engineer (electrical) played in a band in the 80's. So my sons have picked up guitar, drums and vocals, added two friends and boom they have a band. Played a high school gig it was great.

Now I want to capture the live events and record it has to be easy and quick and light.

My band has been working on recording live in our little studio and I had a question about volume. i heard that when a cabinet is turned up loud it makes the bass notes peak higher. is this true? If then should we record our disstorded amps not cranked to get a more even sound?

Last night I went to see a band that had a horn player. I quickly realized that if I were gonna record a band like that, shouldn't I get some sort of "clip on " mic. For doing horns, live.
Doesn't Sennheiser make a clip on? Or is the Audio-Technica pro 35ax the way to go? Or which other mic would be good for doing horns and such?

Im getting ready to record and i want to have the recordings sound like the White Stripes first album "White Stripes". The key sound that i want is 'trashy' i guess. I'm going to quite a few drum mics and condensers. I'm going on to 1/4 reel-to-reel with a 14 track mixer then mastering to a Tascam 424.

HI, first of all this is my first post so nice to meet ya all. Thanks for all of the great info here. okay,
