all a mixer will do which the cable won't is give you individual volume control which you have anyway

Would using a headphone splitter (Y cable) with headphones in one side and MP3 player in the other work?

something like this

heres a transcription for master blaster if you need it
its all Cm pentatonic if i remember correctly and once youve got it under your fingers falls fairly naturally

the mixer is mains only but i think you might struggle to find something that isn't
-
i use a little mixer like this and then a headphone to 2 1/4" jack cable (which can be bought from maplins) to run any device i want into it

i also then take this to use to run my in ears on gigs too -
I trust you and wooks79 have got your tech specs, stage plots and riders in order depending on what stage it is they may be using rolling risers for drum kits ect so that you can get kit set up and mic'ed up before you hit stage and then its just plug up line check and off you go
generally you'll get an email from the stages production manager asking you for all these details well in advance
feel free to give me a shout via pm if you need help with tech specs and stage plots tis what i do for a living
and also congratulations chaps! -

Hi
Sorry but I probably didnt make myself clear enough in my original post.
I just happened to use and break them at the gym.
They are usually used for my IEM onstage system.

i that case i would definitely recommend upgrading the number of drivers you're using will give a lot more depth to your in ears sound -
Hi Guys
Decided to have a bit of fun with a song i've had to learn and try and record it one shot all the way through and video
this is my first attempt at a bass cover video so the audios a bit quiet on normal laptop speakers but sounds fine through headphones
[url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSnzO1lWOLw&feature=youtu.be"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSnzO1lWOLw&feature=youtu.be[/url]
Welcome any thoughts or ideas
enjoy
Chris -
5hz-28khz? Do these people just make this stuff up? Or are they making these headphones for dogs now?
On a serious note of you want to notice a bigger difference you'll need to upgrade the number of drivers in your headphones
Ebs_freak is far more knowledgeable about this than me but I'm onto westone 4R's which are quad driver and are leaps and bounds better than my old 215's however they are a bit pricey so maybe upgrading to some shure 425's or westone um 2's might be worth it if they're just for listening to music at the gym? -

I can't stand the studio version.
Having said that, Constantine does a pretty good job of that one, although I tend to avoid his play alongs as some of them are pretty wide of the mark.
This is what you need to be aiming for....

its funny how personal taste works
i got through about 30 seconds of that before i had to turn it off
nowt as queer as folk
nothing to contribute to the thread
as you were gents -
i don't know theres been some buzz about it on some sound engineering groups i'm part of i'd be very interested in hearing it i do a decent amount of monitor mixing and i've never had an artist have a problem with this so i suspect this may be fixing a problem that isn't really there i can see them getting used on massive tours and even then probably just for a couple of mixes for the talent i doubt it'll be something that will become installed in venues

Anyone else got stage fright on a big stage and what did you do?
[/quote]
luckily whenever i'm doing big stages (up to 12,000 people) its with a bon jovi tribute band
so i get to hide behind a pair of sunglasses honestly i don't know if i could do that gig without them theres just something comforting about the audience not knowing who you're looking at -
without getting into lots of technical details
all a DI box does is take and unbalanced signal (the electrical signal from your bass) and make it into a balanced one (which is less susceptible to electrical interference over long distances)
as your bass amp has a DI out already it is doing this internally.
in short no you don't need a DI box if you're happy with the sound your amp is producing. You'll see them occasionally at multi band gigs because that way the sound engineer is using the sound of the individual players bass and not the sound of the amp. -
i'd be interested to see if there are any latency issues but yes very cool
-
if it had a microphone ring would it not also have a microphone? also if that was the case you would have sound in one ear and not the other

I've got Behringer phones
[/quote]
you've pretty much answered your own question there
you could try using a mono 1/4" to 1/8" adapter (it'll only have one black ring on it) which might solve your problem but tbh it would put it down to behringer QC

it's called the yellow triangle of doom for a reason -

Typically digital systems have 120db gain (dynamic range) available to them... so basically you have far more bandwidth available for you overdrive the channel - so essentially, what you get in, is what get out. (low gain in, low gain out... high gain in, high gain out).
[/quote]
ahh cool okay. sorry realised my comment might have seemed a bit off but i was just genuinely interested
thanks for the info -

There rarely is a gain setting on digital packs - they don't need them.
[/quote]
?????
how does that work then? -
doesn't seem to be any kind of gain setting on the beltpack or transmitter so you may find the signal from your bass is actually too hot for the pack as its designed to work with a lav mic which would need more gain
in theory yes if you can get the right connectors it could work however in reality i could see you running into gain issues
for the sake of £30 its probably not worth it imo -
had to learn turn it on by Genesis for my uni course a couple of years ago if i recall correctly its mostly B for us and its just where to put accents i think i ended up scribbling a quick chart for it before the lesson
keep going at it though don't be afraid to use cheat sheets until you get it (especially the drummer) it's a great song
on that topic i once had to play Rosanna by Toto with a drummer who couldn't play the shuffle properly that was frickin hard!!! -
sounds like every other music man style bass i've ever heard
sounds like very bright strings something like DR Hi beams or D'addario prosteels
and then just amp tweaking
of course tbh 90% of it is in the fingers but yno -
If you wanna go uber cheap then a roll of gaffer tape will do the same job without lifting your combo off the floor ........
SHOW ME THE MONEY (now, or afterwards?)

chasing down a bride or groom or whoever at the end of the night (especially if they've had a bit to drink) is much harder. IME if you ask for payment before going on stage people are generally more forthcoming because they'll be entertained sooner. Whereas at the end of the night you may be left without payment and the person paying you nowhere to be seen.
