Building a band system to isolate IEM mixing from venue / engineer
Kirky replied to warwickhunt's topic in PA set up and use
Yes, correct. The other advantage of the P16 is it's stereo, and doesn't use any of the Auxes. But all 6 of you could use the Auxes, apps, and wired or wireless in mono without any additional expense (assuming you have the devices you need). -

Kirky replied to warwickhunt's topic in PA set up and use
The P16 allows each band member to manage their own IEM mixes, rather than relying on whoever looked after the mixer. You can do it via an app/devices, but it's easier using the physical knobs on the P16. In our band (using an X18) two of us use P16s and the other three rely on the mix from the Aux outs. -
For Once In My Life. I had to learn it for a wedding once. Totally random, and then it changes key and the randomness continues. And Rhythm Stick, it's the plucking hand that defeats me.

Building a band system to isolate IEM mixing from venue / engineer
Kirky replied to warwickhunt's topic in PA set up and use
I hope I've understood the question...we have 16 channels (vox x 4, bass, guitar, stereo keys, and the rest is drums. Our mics/instruments go into the 2 x Art S8 splitters, and I have a 16 channel loom that goes into the house PA. We only play 2 venues where we do this, the rest of the time I don't bring the loom and we just use our PA (X18, tucked into the rack) for FOH. Whilst I built it, and it works for us, I don't understand much of what goes on FoH. -

This is what I've done for our band. Most of our gigs are using our own PA, but I've included a splitter in the rack so we just use our own IEM mix and there's tails for FOH. -
Choosing one for tonight's first gig of the year.

My very simple board. Powered via a Cioks 4 and an Anker power bank (although the EBS is powered using phantom power when we gig).

My son's former band, Mush, in London a while ago. He's the guitarist in the baseball cap.

Two of mine are in bands now, one on bass, the other on guitar. I'm very jealous of the awesome gigs they get to play (Brudenell, Parasido in Amsterdam, Glastonbury, a Marc Riley session), and they're very jealous that my gigs tend to be better paid! One added benefit of having your kids into music is that they help me keep in touch with decent new bands/artists

For it's because it makes everything easier to hear, which is the purpose of monitoring, right? To a certain extent (I suspect you won't like this) I'm not that bothered about what people hear FOH.

I'm running stereo IEMs using a Behringer P16M. The keyboards in particular sound much better, and I pan drums around a bit, and backing vocals left and right. For me it's much better. Because it's a digital out from the desk, it doesn't use the Auxes. The drummer does the same as me, and the others are mono at the moment, although I think the keys player is keen to give it a go.

I bought John's mandolin, fast delivery, well packaged and exactly as described , thank you.
-
Bought some parts from David, which were packaged perfectly and sent very quickly. Thanks for responding to my wanted ad. Top basschatter.
-
Have now had three separate purchases from Mike, all smooth as silk. Many thanks .
-
I bought a pedal board from Sharkboy - excellent comms, well packed, someone we can trust.
-
I sold an amp to Richard. He paid promptly, organised the courier, and has been excellent with the comms throughout.

I played my last gig with my blues band last week, and my new band is all in-ears, through the PA, so I have no use for this now. It is, in my view, the Rolls Royce of bass amps. Loud, plenty of heft, warm, powerful EQ, two channels, valve pre, it's got everything, even motorised controls! It's been kept in a SKB rack case and is in excellent condition. No issues. The case is included but you can have the amp without the case for £550. I don't have the original box and it's heavy (not to be confused with their class D amps) so would require collection from Harrogate. I may also be able to deliver for a contribution to petrol within Yorkshire or beyond. Any questions, let me know.

I bought some connectors from Mike and the whole process has been smooth as silk. I'd happily buy from him again.

Mine is pretty simple now: wireless > compressor > preamp (with overdrive in the loop) > desk. Powered by two rechargeable batteries.
