ORIGINAL: Simon quote:
If you want to be loud this will have feedback problems. Maybe Kate's partner, Harold has some gems on miking up versus pickups re: PAs? Any external mics can feedback horribly, if placed wrong or the performer moves around too much. Miking a band is very different from a solo performer. Yes there is a big problem with miking up a flamenco guitar, as the mike also picks up the singer, the cajon and the crowd and of course you cannot moev around freely. I've been trying to get Harold to write up a bit about his techniques for live sound for my webpage or to post here as there are quite a few questions about pick-ups, but fat chance, he's always too busy, especially now the studio is fully booked most of the time. When he first started doing live sound for flamenco guitarrists he developed a pick-up which was perfect, no cutting up of guitar necessary. One of the most important aspects was the cost as there are some very expensive pick-ups out there, way beyond the reach of most flamencos. So far all the prototypes have worked well and it is our intention to have a few hundred made up, we have all the components already but just lack time to actually put them together. They are being used not only on flamenco guitar but also violin and cello. I dont suppose it will make us rich but it will make a lot of acoustic musicians very happy. Kate When we get a moment we shall get this together and let you all know how to make one, or buy one, or whatever.
