I went to see John Reischman and The Jaybirds at the Tractor Tavern here in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and I was very impressed with their sound. #In the past John has used several variations of the "single" mic for sound reinforcement.
At this show they were using an AT-4033 for all of the vocal work and individual mics (not sure what types) for the instruments. #Any singing was done directly into AT-4033, but all of the breaks were done on the individual mic's. #The bass was on a wrap.
The last time I saw The Del McCoury band, I think they were using two AT-4033's. #I know that Hot Rize will use two "wing" mics on either side of the main mic.
So I'm curious to hear how many of you are using this hybrid approach within the context of a bluegrass band instrumentation and how effective it may be.
