My 2 daughters and I have a sax trio(alto,tenor,baritone) and play a nursing homes,mother/daughter/banquets etc. We are playing a big venue that will have us using microphones and feedback monitors. We do not play mousey and have never used mikes. I feel it alters your sound plus everything in music today is just way too loud!!!! Anyone have any pionters on using mikes or what to listen for w/ feedback speakers. We have a very warm balanced sound and we listen to each other well. Oh and by the way,here is our line up to play:Adams family,Whispering( bari solo{mid-piece}-YEAH!!!),bugle call rag,pink panther,sesame street,muppet show,and will close w/ Stars and stripes forever!!!
