sam.spoons Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 The problem with a single monitor mix is that everybody want's to hear their own voice slightly louder than the others (helps with pitching) if the two guitarists are used to sharing a mix it can work with just two vocals but gets much harder to separate your own voice from t'others when there are three or more. Hence the drummer wanting his vocal louder than the lead vocalist? Wearing a single earplug can sometimes help (sort of like folk singers sticking their fingers in their ears).
MIKE900 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Just come into possession of a small powered mixer (not enough channels for our main mixer) would I be able to use this in conjunction with our main desk to give another monitor mix? If so how is best to utilise it?ThanksMike
MarkPAman Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 You could split you inputs to both desks & run more monitors from the 2nd one, but it's probably adding a whole level of complexity that you don't really need. See what themadhippy & I said in earlier posts.
paulears Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 The only thing you could do is a split of the crucial channels, and then give the entire mixer to the drummer and leave it to him! In our band we all have personal mixers and all the old monitor hell seems to have gone away! Splitting is a bit inconvenient, but Y splits are cheap enough to maybe have a go. Bodge monitor mixes are never the easiest if they don't have access to the same channels as the main monitor mix.
