In my continuing quest with refining our live show, I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this:
I want to have lead vocals with the ability to turn on and off delay, and "telephone" vocal effects.
I also want to be able to turn off vocals to the foh and still have them come through my monitor (for cueing the other guys verbally). And lastly, I have a very percussive band and we all jump around a lot, and I'd really like to find a wireless headphone mic that doesn't sound like s&^t and have a ton of bleed. I am a strong singer, but not a "good" singer. I don't want to have to gate the hell out of the mic, because I also talk between songs to the audience.
Right now, I have the headset mic (a cheap Shure) going through a G9 into my 1176 and then into my Audiofire12. I have the vox "direct monitoring" straight into my monitor, and then I have vox going through effects in Ableton which are controlled with my Behringer FCB1010.
This works well, but I am getting noticeable latency in the effects if I want to avoid pops. If I send the direct monitored vox to the foh and blend them with the effects, then the latency issue goes away, but I don't have a way of turning on and off the vox to the foh then.
I guess what I'm looking for is a way to get my delay and telephone effect out of the computer and have just an a/b box for my mic with an "a" and "a and b" ability. I tried one of those TC Helicon boxes, but it sounded like shit. I'd like to find a good sounding simple delay and telephone effect...
