Question:
Anyone care to share any thoughts on how to best treat a vocal mic that doubles as an occasional Harmonica mic. Should I just go for the best vocal sound I can get and live with the sound that gives the harmonica?
Answer:
Whatever works best for you. I would go for vocal. The vocal carries the song and is usually the hardest sound to get right. In my experience the occasional harmonica or flute sounds just fine on a good vocal mic, although a quick hand on the fader can be needed. Alternatively you could split the mic into two channels and toggle the mutes, but that may not be worth the trouble if the change over is occasional or quick.
