[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 23513, member: 34"] Re: Stage issues. Help! If the kick is ringing in the mains, it potentially has nothing to do with the kick tuning. A gate should be set such that you don't get the vocal mic ringing; however, this may not even be a contributor to the problem. It might just be the vocal mics...in that case, what everyone else said, high pass, EQ, aux feed subs, or get a better console. Try turning the kick mic off in the mix and see if that removes the ring. If it does, get a gate. Also, there is very little useful vocal information below 100-150Hz if you're in a rock band. Also note, the stock SM58 proximity effect is NOT how a mic is supposed to sound; it's more than 10dB from being 'flat'. You didn't mention what mics you're using. Try cutting 125 or 160 on your graphic, or something close since it's 7-band. [/QUOTE]
