how they stop the mic from picking up noise of being put back onto the mic stand at live shows?
In: Engineering
depends on your set up and what equipment you have, there are a couple ways to do it.
Firstly, if it doesn’t matter to your singers, you simply use mics that are VERY directional. There are microphones that will only pick up what is spoken or sang directly into the front of them. Turn it just slightly to the side and it won’t pick up your voice at all. With this, you don’t need to worry about other sounds.
But, some musicians don’t like them bcuz they’re more restrictive in terms of moving around and where you have to hold the mic. So they’ll use less directional mics. That means they either need to pay more attention to where the speakers are set up to prevent feed back. Or, we live in a modern era, we have sound systems that can use a computer to filter out the sound it knows it just released out the speakers
