Re: looping with a mic

there's one point we forgot to discuss ... an inear feedback mostly is followed by a tinitus!
nobody of the manufacture tell us 'bout that, but i know several singers, who got a tinitus from inear-monitoring.
and a feedback (mic, acc. git, whatever) while soundcheck is not sooo rare ...

Wearing big ol' headphones on stage can be a downer from the audience's
perspective.  I guess I need to grow my hair out!

Headphone.com offers an "earplug" style headphones that are very tiny
(wired).  The drawback is that it completely seals out exterior noise.
That's great for airline travel, but not so hot for playing w/ other
musicians.

that would be nice... I think in a few years, hardly anyone will 
still use monitors on stage...

It's very possible with today's technology. You can get good quality
wireless
monitor systems for under $1000, add a small mixer and you're ready to
go. You do
need a pretty quiet rig though, 'cause noise with in-ear monitors is
VERY
irritating.
 
When I play with Giba, we use ordinary good big headphones and no
monitors.
It may look a bit odd, but, so what...

The usual complaint about using headphones on stage is that it isolates
you from
your audience. 

Of course, some of us are lost in our own little worlds to start with...
