Awesome bought mate!! Cirse's singer uses the same one and it's so useful! I would like to have one in the future to be able to have a full band mix in my ear.

I hate the idea of using them, especially for singing, I think you really need to trust your sound guys to use them too

How much was it ? I was thinking about getting one of those. I find that when I drum I cant hear anyone else.

Haven't used them before, but I look forward to the day EMULATOR has enough band $$$ to pay for them!! For loud, powerful, dynamic bands.... I don't think there is much of a downside, really. I can't imagine NOT benefiting from having more control over your personal mix. Also, you're not relying on a crappy monitor to deliver the sound to you. Can't WAIT to try one someday!!

Ahhh, that would be true I would imagine. Depending on your preferences, it could be a "make-or-break" point.
For example, some guitarists absolutely demand to have their amps cranked and pointed at them, to "feel" the amp and response. During most of my shows, that is generally the case (though not always "cranked"....I prefer a respectable volume, depending on the dynamics and sound/energy of each project I play live with) with my shows. But, for bigger shows with a large stage, occasionally my amp gets a bit "washed out" by a wall of sound from my bandmates, and lost in a sea of empty space in a very large venue (theater, ampitheater, etc). Then, I rely on getting a great monitor mix (hopefully the house monitors don't suck!! ) in order to hear my guitar, and I just have to "trust" that my tone is better for the audience. After so many shows, you kind of get used to playing through ANY circumstance. I find it helps to imagine the guitar is not plugged in, and I try and "feel" the sustain underneath all of the gain and effects. You'd be surprised how much it helps, to just shed your thoughts of "my monitor mix sucks/I can't hear my amp and my tone..." and just CONNECT with your guitar, as if you are sitting at home playing it unplugged. I helps if you have a nice guitar, with decent sustain. So, in you case Coz....I'm willing to bet (not much...."don't gamble what you can't afford to lose!" -Me) that you have played so many shows, that although you try your best to keep your tone consistent show-to-show....you probably are able to "deal" with not being directly blasted with your amp's tone when playing live, and you probably are able to also play well with monitor mix. SO, I'm betting you will also dig your new in-ear setup!! If I'm right, it's because I am a mind reader. If I am wrong.... oops. I heard that the guitar is the only problematic instrument for the in-ear monitoring devices. It sounds a bit unnatural I hear - well, I'll let you guys know about my experience with the voice and the guitar in my new toy -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
