Re: Help........
Do you understand the operation of a parametric eq and how to ring out a
system using one? The best place would be one
channel on an insert to your mains and one
channel for each
monitor mix.
Feedback eliminators aren't magic boxes.
Here's a typical scenario. You are using a
feedback buster, and as the gig progresses, you're getting bolder and your levels are rising. Sometimes it's
feedback, sometimes its a guitar tone, and your
feedback buster kicks in, identifies the frequency and notches it out. You're happy. And push
system harder, and your
feedback buster detects another hit, and either broadens the notch on the
current filter, or kicks in another one. A few hits like this and you're notching quite a few frequencies in the
vox range. So, you're pushing harder, and the
feedback buster is slowly but surely turning down the signal across more and more of the vocal spectrum.
Let's
face it, the reason we use
feedback busters is to get more
gain before
feedback. Additionally, there is no greater offender than vocal mics. So yea, you'll get another 3 db or so of vocal
gain, but with growing notches in the response curve.
These devices are in no way fail-safe. If you're going to use one, spend a few hours with the band in practice, with the device, and intentionally get your levels up where
feedback occurs, and get comfortable with the way the
unit behaves. Waiting until the gig and having it on bypass until you have problems is never a good way of deploying a tool.
Hi guys.... Thanks for your help Yeah its a band I am working with. Is it worth putting one in on lead mic and bypass it but if I get in to any probs is there as a fail safe??
