Copywriting and Feedbacc  Reply with quote  

I'm not really sure where to post this topic so ima jus post it. One question i have is how would I go about copywritting my songs so that no one else can steal them and say "they" wrote or produced em? The other question i have is... When you preform live, what causes that feedback? That really annoying noise? Is it because you are too close to the speakers or the mics are too close? Does it depend on the setup or is there a universal fix for feedback when preforming live? Any feedback (no pun intended) is appreciated!

The first part of your question has been answered here:
http://www.audiocourses.com/forum/forum-81.html

Feedback is caused by sound coming from the speakers being re-captured by the microphones and then amplified and out of the speakers again.

The simple answer to stop this is to prevent the sound coming from the loudspeakers from getting into the microphones again. This is why you will generally see PA systems having the loudspeakers out in front of the microphones.

Feedback is typically focussed around one or two particular frequencies and you can in fact find that frequency and e.q. out the troublesome spots.

Hope that helps.

Depends on the country, here are some useful links so you can get to the bottom of it for your country:

For your first question:
Check out www.creativecommons.com
"Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that offers flexible copyright licenses for creative works"

And your second: (to add to audiocourses)

There are also feedback reduction processors that claim to find feedback frequencies before they are audible to the human ear. I haven't used them so can't say much! But their working is similar to a side chained frequency sensitive compressor..
