will it cause a loud noise?
I'm playing for my church an item on our church anniversary but whenever we practice during rehearsal, around the middle of the song a buzzing sound builds up which overtakes the volume of our performance and it is something we cannot have during the day itself. The size of the room is about an empty office lot, with 12 instruments (4 vocals, 1 plugged in guitar, 1 regular guitar assisted by a microphone, a bass, piano, a drum set, 2 maracas and 1 triangle) and 6 microphones. Initially i thought it was the regular guitar (most common reason for the noise) but when the noise comes even though i turned off the mic for the guitar and not play the guitar (the others still continue playing), the noise still continues on and on. The anniversary is coming really soon and it would really help if i could get to the bottom of this a.s.a.p (sorry for the long message).

the "buzzing" noise, is called feedback, this occurs when the noise from the amplifier travels through the microphone or guitar pickups, and then the noise is continuously played in a loop until its cut off.
Ways to reduce the risk of feedback occuring would be to make sure the back of the microphone is facing towards the amp, to make sure you have a good distance between the mics and the amps, make sure you know what you are turning up, try not to turn up the volume by using the volume of the mic instead turn up the volume on the amp.
One last suggestion which involves money (if youre really desperate) is a feedback compresseer or killer, such as the behringer.

Just do what you've done with the guitar for every intrustment/mic/speaker you'll have to hitnmiss until you find the culprit.
Source(s): Although it may just be a build up of feedback, so if your "search" returns no clues, try just lowering all the volumes and see how that affects it.
