Re: The SM58...Yea I know, but I am a libertarian at heart. The poor little sheep singers will sing through anything we give them so I guess we are going to have to be the ones to wake them up. I think we have done a pretty good job of getting the guys with in ears to carry their own mic kit, and even a console sometimes. You don't really think anyone other than sound engineers figured that one out do you? Ha Ha Ha, now that is funny!When I worked at the Masquerade in Atlanta I didn't even want to touch some of the gross vocal mics there......and people actually put their lips on them. Yuck! I do actually think we as engineers created this situation by wanting to control things like having a known quality for all the vocal mics, and for that matter all the other mics. In that taking responsability for the sound thing there most likely is a little control freak in all of us, I will speak for myself......There is. I will deaden the ringing on a Drum kit in a heartbeat and convince the drummer why they like it. It is for their own good and for the good of the band you know Yes the change will have to start with us, we have the power. I would really rather ALWAYS use my own vocal mics. I hate letting go but it really needs to be done. We already at least have our singers carrying their mics at a national level and I'm am willing to bet it is most (if not all) of the BE's who are responsible for that. Food for thought.
