I have a Nuemann TLM 103, an AKG Solidtube, a Sennheiser 421, a Shure SM57 and a kick drum/Tuba/bass mic Does anyone reading this think it really could be a problem? -------------------- Waiting on my new MacBook Pro

You can probably: 1) Lower the gain on your pres 2) Engage the pad on your mics 3) Position the singer a longer distance from the mike.
