Provided by Sweetwater. Q: So, first of all, a big thank you to PSW for all the monitoring articles lately. They’ve really helped me deal with the monitoring needs of some very demanding musicians. However, I do have a problem I’m hoping you can help me with. Despite my best efforts, the vocalist still needs their click track turned up ridiculously loud, which is constantly causing bleed.
