Can we build an insert that works like this, perhaps leveraging ultrafx if needed?
That would be so nice for choir mics (especially if I can copy the “final” EQ curve into the channel PEQ or a group NEQ).
It will be interesting to see if “AI” can actually help with feedback suppression. While there have been various feedback eliminators available for a long time, they don’t use AI and therefore are pretty “dumb” in the way they operate. Obviously most of us find that they tend to be much more destructive in nature than they are helpful. With the new wave of smarter, “AI driven” options, perhaps feedback suppressors in the future will actually be more helpful than destructive.
Shortly after the market launch of the dLive, I suggested here in this forum that feedback detection should be integrated into the dLive.
What I have in mind is not an active intervention in the EQs, but simply information about which microphone on which wedge is causing feedback - and on which frequency.
This would be particularly useful during operation, i.e. during the event, especially in difficult acoustic environments.
I still hope that this idea will come at some time - and as you can see, the topic still seems to be interesting
this would be good. However, I’d pivot to a more simple x-fdbk typle plugin. The feedback hunter is honestly terrible. i’ve found many engineers that say it’s like a wet blanket, and only one that likes it, however he has to jump through some very specific hoops.
I’d stick to the simple old plugin that help automate the ringing out of a system
Perhaps we have different needs. I have no/little use for a “ring out the system” feature. Not needed at my venue.
What I need is a tool that can accelerate the elimination of a feedback freq. usually as the result of poor mic technique which makes the desired volume a challenge.
Mic education works for regular users, not always so well with guests.
Obviously I don’t want a solution that doesn’t work. Different methods might be applicable in different scenarios. Perhaps there is room for multiple methods. The smart people at A&H can come up with those.
