As a sound tech, next practice at our church, I'm going to serve ice cream cones to every worship team member, except one person in particular. That should correct the improper mic technique of our pastor. Thanks for the word picture.
I just wish I could’ve shown you for real. For my sake 😂
EVERYTHING about this was ON POINT! Thank you for these awesome tips! I've shared this video with my background singers. You are awesome!
Thank you for re-uploading so much better! You rock!
Thanks for being patient with me 🙌 I just wish I had another ice cream cone
Really enjoyed this video! Knew most of these details but the cupping one was such a good demonstration I stuck around for the whole thing!
Solid, solid, solid content!
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate and I learnt a lot out of it.
You are so much appreciated brother! Your videos are always on point and entertaining to watch. I can’t tell you how much your mentoring on TH-cam has improved my novice sound tech abilities! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! PS I shared this video with my worship team I think it’s going to help me avoid those “sound tech solos” 😂
Thank you for the great video!
Excellent video. I’m with our video/ audio team and trying to find ways to make our sound more natural stereo sounding.
lol, "Stop cupping the mic" - Glenn Fricker. I like you videos James, it's good for everyone
Thanks Calvin! I prefer "get your hands off the ice cream" personally 😂😂😂
Man. Great detail on everything. Love the “Pirate” technique! Also that’s the best proximity effect description I’ve heard, and why mics are designed that way. Keep em’ coming!
Thanks Kyle! 🙌🏼
Am blessed it has been one of the major problem have been facing
Thanks James for this mic handling video. This is definitely an issue with a small portion of our worship team and elders at our church. I plan to share this with them respectfully.
Way to be respectful 😀🥇💯
This is very helpful for speakers, and the information helps to remove a lot of the fear we have when we speak, especially into a mic.
Thanks Mom!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you Sir, from turkey ! ^^
You're very welcome! Send some zataar and sumac
Sound tech solo. That was great.
Watch for a shirt with it on there coming soon 😲
Thank you!
You’re welcome 🙏🏼🙌🏼
thank you soooo much!
You're welcome Jennifer! Thanks for checking in 😁
Good Presentations
Great video, I’m going to forward it to a “very particular” speaker that I know and MAYBE he will understand what I have been trying to explain for weeks…
"please share this video wisely... and not passive-aggressively"
great presentation
Thank you!
Nice info James. Mic, the pirate. Rrr.
I'll need to get my Demanding Dave hat out, and teach my sound creators how to handle mics better.
GREAT VIDEOS FROM YOU FRIED. i LOVE AND ALWAYS WAIT FOR YOUR NEW VIDEOS. NEXT I WISH YOU MAKE VIDEO FOR MONITOR MIX
Thanks Srinivas! Are you talking about mixing monitor wedges? Or in-ear monitors?
Great video so many singers and speaker don't understand how to use a mic,I have that problem with the band I'm in they keep the mic about 6in from there mouth.
Better than 6 feet 🙈
It’s interesting the weird quirks that people have with microphones. I think that most of it is because people don’t like the way their voices sound, or they just aren’t used to hearing their voices amplified. So they do everything to hold the mic away from their mouths as much as possible.
The other people are rappers, or they are trying to emulate what they see rappers do.
Hi sir.. thanks for the another great video... could u pls make a video for how to setting up multiple wireless mics (Groups & Channels) without any interference!! Thank u.. 😊
Thanks for the idea!
Mic placement is alsovery important to reduce Plosives which many casual speakers struggle with controling
Yup. And if not, a puffy windscreen can be your friend.
Please i want to speak to you personally and good points there
Subbed. Thx
Thanks for the sub John!
Awww I want Ice Cream!
Me too!!!
Sound tech solo! Lol Been there!
My blood pressure goes up just thinking about it
Get the sound great again.... : )
Arrrr, listen to your sound tech, arrr! @14:14 stay teachable my friend.
Stay teachable or walk the plank into the sea of no more growth 😂
@@AttawayAudio Prov 9:8, arrrr! 🏴☠️
How about when I sing While holding the microphone with my two hands
We had a real low feedback beginning on the speakers mic. The sound tech turned down the gain, but I thought EQ on the low end 100hz would help? Depends on the mic and how close to the mains he was as well. Any hints (have the speaker block the mains with his body?)( Get a speaker with a higher voice?) Wish I'd been at the board!
EQing out the offending frequency would be helpful, but there are more tips here too th-cam.com/video/X0sf2ZuQKGM/w-d-xo.html Sounds like your speaker is in front of the PA.
Low frequencies will bend around a person's body, so that wouldn't help the low frequency feedback much. Plus, the mic should be near their mouth, so only their head, which is smaller, would be in the way.
Am un microfon shure sv100 și se aude toate mișcările la atingere care ar fi problema?
Ok, this shure beta 87a is a super cardio mic. How should I hold correctly to get the super cardio figure, especially the third little circle? The front (logo) towards me or the back towards me?
The mic is end-address, so the XLR jack in the handle is the back.
Can i put a wired microphone in to a amplifier to sing
no, you'll need a mic preamp, unless the speaker has a mic input. But even then, your level control will be limited, and you won't have much tone control (if any)
thank you , how do you manage the fact that your microphone seems to be in front of the speakers and you dont get any larsen
I have them pretty quiet
What board are you using?
PreSonus StudioLive series iii 🙌🏼 great little board for the money
Do you have any tips for getting sings to project better? I have a couple of ladies who sing too softly and not close enough into the microphone. It is to the point I'm facing feedback issues.
Great question Angell! There are a few things that could be going on. First, have your worship leader do a singer practice with no mics around a piano or acoustic guitar. Make sure they can blend and project acoustically. Then, they might have themselves turned up too loud in their monitors. This is a trap that keeps them singing quietly. The tricky part is that they might have confidence issues, which has to be “pastored” gently and over time, so your worship leader can help with that too. Do they mix their own in-ear monitors, or are they on wedges?
The other coaching I give to singers is to sing THROUGH the mic like they’re singing to the front row. Sometimes that mindset shift helps it “click” for them.
@@AttawayAudioI think the acoustic practice and singing through the mic will help it click, thank you! they are currently using wedges. part of the problem is that because they sing so quietly i often cannot get enough of them in the wedges for them to hear themselves over a full band
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Is that a streamdeck on the console? If so how, where and what do you use it for.
It is! I use it to switch cameras when I’m live-streaming, and start/stop the virtual sound check tracks
@@AttawayAudiohey why not do a setup tour next time you are live?😁
Points for the Monk reference lol.
fav show ever
Which console is that?
It’s my presonus studiolive 32 series iii 😁
What mic sir tis
Shure Beta 87 A
Not sure I completely agree with your advice on mic placement (ie using proximately effect). Due to the inverse square law, if a singer is eating the mic and moves it 2 inches away, there is a big loss in gain. Whereas, if the mic is already 2 inches away, and moves a further 2 inches out, there is much less gain change. Using the proximately effect is a bit of a crutch. It is not a starting point to teach your amateur singers. Have a look at this guy use his mic. One of the best in the world. th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html
1st to comment ✔️
Way to go, Bo!
I always hated when rappers cup the mic it always looked weong and know I now it sounds wrong
Please do gain structure! so many opinions but very little facts out there.
Hey that's a great idea! Thanks Maia T!
60.6mm 2ft, nah, 2.4 inch.
Oops 🤣
Shame on you for not having a back up ice cream cone. 🤓
Always be prepared... oops.
I hate singing so close to the mic, all the audience see is the mic. My kind of singing is to get the story of the song across and to act the song. When you see Frank Sinatra or Liza Minnelli, great emotive singers, they hold the mic away so you can see their faces. How come they can do this, when other singers swallow the mic?
It's all about context. The stages those singers are on may not have been quite as loud, and they're not being compressed the same way we would for modern pop styles and PA levels.
when you show performers how to hold the mic and they continue to cup the mic *facepalm*
worst is when my dumb a** bought a nice miktek dynamic and someone at an open mic decided that a mic drop was appropriate
Ouch
