    Re: Microphone recommendations

    Do not over look the Audio Technica 4051 or for a tight pattern 4053. I’ve used these on stage for 25 years. Very good feed back rejection and fine sounding. Modest priced.

    Re: compressor

    Technique is truly the answer with a clip on mic, I'd turn the gain up a bit and learn to chop chords more softly. Sometimes I play a National that has an enormous dynamic range no problems there,...
