Don't listen to the pussies who say not to do this. Its supposed to be an experiment with sound. Its true that you can damage your gear but just be careful, and don't use anything that you value too much.
Think about it first. This is a great thing to try out. Especially if you've got some old gear gathering dust. We use feedback loops all the time - you can turn an IC chip into an oscillator by introducing a feedback loop.
@RaulAPizarro That's slightly different. Here you're introducing feedback into the mixer directly. In your case the mic is picking up the signal from your monitors. My advice is to turn your monitors off/down and use headphones instead.
@dag451 thanks for the reply. I never record vocals with my monitors on. I know i would get some bad feedback if i did. but there is a difference between, feedback and feedback loop,, and i was getting that oscillating sound while trying to record vocals with headphones, similar to what you hear in the video.
@RaulAPizarro Ah right, well I think that could be a routing issue. It's either something to do with the way you've set up your mixer - perhaps you've set up the aux send and returns channel incorrectly - or it's a manufacturing issue. Have you contacted the manufacturer? If its still in warranty then you could have it fixed. If not then maybe have another look at your set up. Its hard for me to say exactly what to do without having a good look at what you're doing.
No Brothers !!!! Nevr Ever Do this It Can easly cut down Ur 'Pre-Amp/Power Amp' Capacitor Life To 80% Down!! Its A devilish Expiriment towards the All copmponents Chemichel Life!!!!! Plz Do Not Try [If U Really Respect ur Mony]
I love doing this. Brings me back to the first time I did this, by accident. Total noise bliss! Even better when blended with incoming percussion sounds.
It doesn't damage the mixer. I've been using mine for well over a year. I recently started using it for more acoustic music and it sounds clear as a bell. I don't know what kind of stuff you're doing to yours or what kind of cheap stuff you're doing it on (I use a bottom of the line mixer).
excellent, thanks. i've been looking online for mixers and i haven't seen one that has as many EQ knobs as yours. i think i might buy a real cheap mixer with an AUX send to screw around with before dropping any real cash.
Documentary " People Who Do Noise "
and watch my feedback loop video
(( directly out from a mixer right back into it is for starters ))

Hey there. Is an effects send common on most mixers, such as yamaha mixers?

@TakeOutNinja Yes, effects sends are pretty common on most mixers.

@nazrudinsha just make sure it's filtered within a reasonable range before amplifying

I recommend NOT doing this with new gear. I recently replaced a Behringer mixer with something far nicer, so I'm doing it with that instead.
Something like a Mackie mixer is far too nice to put under that sort of pressure.

It's a Mackie 1202 vlz, but this will work on any mixer with AUX sends.
