I’ve got a gig coming up and we’ll have a limited time for the sound check. One of the songs I’m doing is Bluegrass Stomp. I’m lifting parts of it from Doc & Dawg, particularly where Grisman plays tremolo with the side of the pick down on the G and D strings. It’s a great whispery sound but it won’t cut through, even with the rest of the band playing quietly. I’m using a Schertler DYN-M and there will be a vocal mic easily accessible.

Would playing into the mic help me cut through?

Would there be any negative side effects, feedback, etc?

Thanks

I would imagine it would work fine and the mic should help with the sound and add low end and take out some of the brightness a pickup brings across.
