An acquaintance of mine mics his didges for looping using a Radio Shack PZM that's been removed from its square zone plate and mounted a few inches inside the end of the didge (the far end, not the beeswax mouth end). It's remarkably isolated from bleed. A while back, I posted a question regarding finding an XLR-equipped volume pedal to prevent bleed on the SM57 in my rig. Since I never did locate one, what I finally ended up doing was to plug the mic into one side of a MidiMan Audio Buddy preamp, then from there to a regular volume pedal, then to a Fostex processor set up for 'verb on one side and pitch shift on the other, and then on into two channels of my mixer. It works very well; when I want hands-free control of what enters the loop via the mic, I just use the volume pedal. I use regular monitors, making sure to position them out of the mic's pickup field just like you would for a vocalist. -t- >a tricky thing with that set-up it seems to me would be using mics to >record your instruments. while listening back to the loop in >headphones you would need to be sure there is no bleed from the >phones, or anything else, into the mic input, since it will be >amplified in the loop. >>William Mcallister wrote: >> >>>I'm also new and have some of the same questions.
