RE: problem w/live looping using mic

["Qua Veda" <qua@oregon.com>]

What about a headworn mic?  They are not inexpensive, but it places the mic
along your cheek, very close to your mouth and I believe they are
unidirectional and would be an excellent way to get consistent voice 
quality
and reduce the possibility of bleed through.

Thanks for your input, Zoe-- all good points. I'm not sure how I'd separate
the sound in my case, though. My set-up is rather simple (which is good for
me!): I use one single mike to sing live through & to do loops through. No
house mic (PA mic), & so the sound is all mixed together into one channel.
That also helps to prevent feedback-- no other live mic hanging out there 
in
front of me. Also my looper is a simple one (Akai Headrush), don't know how
I'd separate the sound with that. But I guess the bottom line is that I 
need
to do whatever possible to make sure the least amount of sound leaks into 
my
mic during loop recording. Unfortunately, that can be a very difficult 
task.

By the way, I checked out your website & you're amazing. 

My latest "project" is called "Sidewalk Beggar", a humble undertaking
considering your accomplishments.
