Whats the best thing about the sound "love shack"?

It's Not the song "picture"

How Do you turn a $100.00 Mic into a $10.00 Mic

Take your hands an cover every part of it except the size of a dime

the mic joke is more visual I guess I'll explain it a little.

We spend $100.00 on a mic to have a singer cup it and only use 10% of the mic They see these videos where people cup the mic and try to look cool and do the same thing, not realizing in a studio you don't even touch the mic, basicly the make themselves sound like they are in a tin can

Cupping a mike in no way reduces the mike element area exposed to the sound when done in a normal manner. They'd have to all but close the mike completely off to do that.

Agree the added amplification gained makes some male singers(those with a bass to baritone range) sound like they're in a barrel, because of the added reverb cupping generates.

We have a regular in our private karaoke group that has such a soft voice that we've taught her to cup the mike. It has a necessary amplification effect for singers like her, and allows her to sing in a relaxed manner.

No one shoe fits all.

What's the best thing about the song "Love Shack?"

When it's over!

NOTE: I hope no one takes offense. I just find the song extremely annoying, and it only seems to come up when you're having a bad night to begin with.
