Title: Mics & Hair
Post by: Josephine on February 12, 2005, 01:03:42 PM

My next few shows are going to require me wearing my mics on a reverse headband setup (the ends of the headband being above my ears w/ mics attached).
Since I've got long hair which will definitely fall over and in front of the mics, I'm wondering whether I'd be better off wearing some of my hair pulled back.
This, of course, would leave my mics visually exposed.
I think I recall reading somewhere in this ocean of information that hair moving on top of mics does not audibly affect the recording. 
Is this true?  (I think ex-hippie Moke knows the answer to this one.)
:)

Nice picture, Moke.
Looks like a Grateful Dead show, no?
Ventura County Fairgrounds maybe?

Thanks for asking this! I was actually going to ask the same question lol

Oh but one additional thing. Windscreens on right? That'll help with the whole hair thing?
