The one-mic setup has been working great for our band!
if you know me on here, I always chime in and explain the complications involved in pulling this off. I always want to do it but we couldn’t make it work.
fast forward to the last 4 gigs. They were all outdoor and our mandolin player is out for having a baby. So the fiddle player, banjo player and guitar all form a semi circle around the mic (Audio Technica 4033) and I run my bass through my black box/Alix DI.
the sound has been great. I’m lucky that I play with some great players who know how to pull off the “choreography” to make sure the lead vocals or soloist are front and center. We even played a private party and our friends in another band who played banjo and mandolin sat in on a super jam and it still worked. crazy part about the last show was that we were in a pavilion that was packed with loud drunks. Still no feedback. We have a board that can record our shows and the mix is impressive.
I am very excited that we have lots of outdoor shows and can run this setup for most of the remaining summer gigs.
