Title: Share Mics or Stick With Six?
Post by: denwalk on May 27, 2010, 08:38:08 AM: Quick question for ya LGM fam. For P&W we have 6 microphones, and this week we have all 7 singers here at the same time (which is a rare occasion). So the question on the table is, do I stick with 6 and have someone sit out... OR... have 2 people share a microphone? Your thoughts?

Yea, we tend to have more people than mics so we share.
