why is there plugin mics and open air ones used here. I like the violin good stuff

[@magicfiddle]

+David Marks (ElectroTinker) If I remember correctly, they used the plugin mics for the monitors and the open air mics for the main speakers.

[@davidmarks509]

ahh ok thanks :)

[@RootinrPootine]

+David Marks (ElectroTinker) There is no one mic that is perfect for the acoustic reproduction so they tend to use a combination to cover quality and low feedback---instrument mic for sound, clip-on for volume. There are many options for Selmac pickups---people debate about it a lot.

They told me the plug in mics were for monitors while the open air were used for sound going to the audience. - Peter

[@RootinrPootine]

+magicfiddle I'm sure you're right. Just saying that dual pickup systems are common even for going through the same speakers---just so David Marks knows there are many "standard" ways based on reproduction vs feedback

chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk Hot House! Very virtuosic but I prefer bebop to gypsy stuff. Gypsy time feel is heavy on the down beat whereas bebop is all 2 & 4
