[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 107677, member: 158"] Re: Working with cupped mics A white South African friend of mine worked at BET studios East in Washington DC for several years mixing monitors. [i'll pause for a moment while we all reflect on this statement...] Anyway, he's a brilliant sound guy. But he also is easily the most brazen person i have ever met. His approach was to tell the artist to not cup the mic or he would turn off the monitors. Then when they cupped the mic, he would turn off the monitors. And he never backed down. Many an amusing exchange came from that approach, i can assure you [i was often mixing FOH from a safe distance away]. Not sure how professional that approach was, but it should be said that the broadcast engineer also backed him to the hilt as well. [/QUOTE]
