PSW Staff 05/24/12 01:50 PM,Over his 20 years of mixing the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Rat has had to deal with a wide range of audio issues. During the current multi-year tour in support of the album I’m with You, the band encountered severe interference issues with its IEM system, which Rat addressed with a switch to the Shure PSM 1000 system and its diversity reception design. “The troubles we were having with our existing in-ear systems were primarily due to the LED… View this story

Jack Kontney 03/14/12 02:29 PM,In-ear monitors (IEMs) are radically different from the traditional floor wedge method of providing a monitor mix to performers. For many artists and engineers, they are the ideal monitor solution. But for others, they’re simply a method of trading one set of problems (extreme volume, tiny sweet spot, feedback potential) for another (sense of isolation, can’t hear amps or audience). Clever engineers and earphone manufacturers have come up with various methods of handling these issues, all of which revolve around… View this story

Gary Zandstra 11/29/11 08:39 AM, 1 CommentI regularly hear complaints from musicians about being too isolated with they use personal monitor mixers with headphones: “I feel like I’m in a studio” and/or “I feel like I’m in my own separate world.” These complaints often have merit because the only thing available to mix into their phones is the dry signals from the other instruments. To solve this issue I’ve tried - with good success - a few techniques. 1) Add a feed from an audience response… View this story

Mike Sessler 10/17/11 08:57 AM, 1 CommentIt’s important to adopt strategies for remaining sane while mixing monitors in churches. I touched upon some of those strategies in a previous article, where the focus was on how to group multiple musicians together to obtain positive results, how to stay organized, and how to run a sound check. All of the above assumes you’re mixing monitor wedges for the stage. Wedges work well in some circumstances, but have many downsides. Being loudspeakers, they obviously add to the mix… View this story

Gary Zandstra 05/31/11 02:06 PM, 2 CommentsWith the advent of personal monitor mixing for musicians, the front of house guy is theoretically free from any monitor issues. However, that’s if: 1) The system is set up properly; 2) The musicians know how to use the stage system; 3) You don’t mess with the channel gain (If direct outs a channel are used). Remember, though, that just because the musician has control it doesn’t necessarily keep monitors from being a problem. The church where I mix has… View this story
