ok. me and my band practice in a small room upstairs in my house, and we are having REALLY bad feedback problems with the microphones. we have put the mics in everyplace possible in the room, and tryed everything we could do. do i need to get some windscreen covers, or what?
THANKS!!!!!
 
Windscreen covers probably won't do anything. Try turning down a little. I've had so many feedback issues it isn't funbny, and sometimes the only cure is turning down. It isn't as easy as it sounds ( I love playing to the point where your head might explode) but if you don't your head might (feedback could very badly damage eardrums and such). Trust me the headaches from the feedback aren't worth the practice volume, save it for shows.

Also depends on what you are singing thru. If you have any multiband EQ (common on many mixer amps) you may be able to find the frequencies that are causing the feedback and control it there. Start flat with all sliders at zero. If you are getting feedback, start notching back (turning down) the frequencies - one at a time - and see which one knocks out the feedback. Hope that helps.
 
In a small room your bound to have problems.

Try before Eq to close mic every thing and use unidirectional mics. Get close to the source of the instrument and you'll get more volume with less of a chance of feedback.
Try to use less mics. The minimum you need. Try to use direct box's instead or direct to mixer ( for practicing).

If you are micing the drums with multiple mics, use a single overhead instead.

Keep all monitors down !.

last resort -Eq
 
I'm not sure if that last post was a tip or a poem.......

but what kinda mics are U using...... that can be a big factor
