Feedback quandary
Harpman:
You would think having compression on a vocal channel whould be used to eliminate feedback on a channel rather than cause it. I ran into a scenerio last Saturday where I isolated feedback coming from one of the vocal channels and the only way I was able to quickly eliminate it was to DISABLE compression on the vocal channel. Anyone care to explain that one? ???

Nobody I know thinks that - quite the opposite as you demonstrated.
Harpman:
I know, it was weird. I did my typical cutting surrounding frequencies in the 5kHz range to eliminate the mid-range FB and didn't do a thing. Disabled the compression and voila no more feedback. Goes against the "laws of sound" :lol:
RoadRanger:
I think you misunderstood what I said - compression DOES increase the likelihood of feedback.
Fluddman:
+1 Compression does increase the chances of feedback.
That's why there are quite a few people asking Makie to make the aux sends switchable pre/post EQ and Dynamics. Currently they can be switched pre or post the channel fader but not pre or post EQ/Dynamics - I am not sure how they missed this one. (Please vote for it!)
Cheers
