Have you guys found that mics and monitors and amount of musicians etc (everything we're talking about) is all about stage size? Meaning, larger stages allow for more space between musicians, thus making these issues more workable? Because my experience has been that most stages are really cramped for space. The headstock of my guitar is often a foot or less away from the next musician. And we're sharing a monitor. Under these conditions, I've found mics to bleed, low stage volume to be difficult when the person next to you is a sax player or percussionist., etc etc. The notion of each musician getting 1 (or 2) monitors to place how they like them is compromised by the musicians sharing monitors and different things everyone wants in their monitor mix. All of this results in everyone I know using undersaddle pickups. However, I don't play with flamenco musicians (usually). It's more like Brazilian stuff. Anyway, my fascination is how flamenco guitarists have been able to avoid drilling their guitars and can effectively use mics when so many other genres seem to not work with mics. OR, other genres end up in clubs, on tiny stages, where a bunch of condenser mics don't work.
