Meh.

I was never in a big band, but I`ve done monitors for a few! It gets sonically busy as others above have said, so try to ensure you can hear everything you need for timing, especially the kick drum. If you can`t hear that,you`re fecked As to the organisation, the MDs I worked with never looked less than harrassed at the best of times Good luck! MM

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1326486953' post='1498022'] The irony of course is that you tune for the room when there is nobody there. When you go to play there are (hopefully) a load of soft squidgy bodies in the room. [/quote] Dems called Shitbags innit?

E.L.O Mrs seems to think "Telephone Line" is a great tune just now.

OK will do when sober

Yes. but it`s worth it if you stick with it.

I don`t find the LD stuff that bad and I use a lot of it with a local P.A firm. They are cheap and cheerful and in my opinion will work fine if you carry them carefully in a decent box. Regarding hooking it up, you can choose whether to send a full mix from an aux output on your mixer, OR,if as you said, you just want your own vocal in ther, you can use an XLR splitter cable (Y cable 1xfemale to 2x male) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Metre-XLR-Mic-Splitter-Cable-Lead-Van-Damme-Cable-/120681436896?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item1c192c96e0#ht_664wt_932"]http://www.ebay.co.u...e0#ht_664wt_932[/url] Use the cable to split your vocal mic cable into the mixer as normal, and then the other connector into the mono input on the LD transmitter. Use the input gain on the transmitter to set the level into the box, and then use the volume on the receiver for how loud you want it in your ear. That`ll work, but you wont have any eq on your mic. OR if you have direct outputs on the channels on your mixer, you can take the vox signal from there,(but the cheaper mixers don`t tend to feature direct outs), and even from the insert point as well, but you may have to make or buy a special cable for that. The way I do it with a powered mixer with no spare auxes, is use the split cable to go into another smaller desk, like a spirit notepad or behringer micro desk. Basically any portable mini mixer with a couple of chans and a bit of EQ etc, and then send the mix out of that into your IEM transmitter inputs. Then you can get a bit of tone and level control. If you decide later that you want a bit of bass or kik as well etc, you can Y split them into your mini mixer too. If you aren`t clear about any of this, ask away and I`ll do my best to explain it better. Or I can rig mine up and take a few pics if you like. MM p.s the frequencies on the LD pack are licensed and free to use already, so no prob for the future just yet.

Coming from the same angle as Ben, I treat my bass tone the same as I would any p.a equipment, in that it needs to be EQ`d for the stage and/or room. You wouldn`t expect to take a P.A into a venue and say, well, I EQd it in the unit so..... Even drummers are supposed to tune for the room.

The voices in my head.

I`m not a fan of powered mixers,but there are some decent ones out there for not much cash. Soundcraft and Peavey come to mind, and they usually offer decent power, graphic EQ and aux outs for wedges. Alternatively, look at powered speakers from Mackie or (gasp) behringer. The benefit of this is you aren`t locked in to your mixer and can upgrade as and when you need. 300 watts a side is plenty for vocals in all but the largest pubs and you may get a little kik drum in there too if you don`t push it. Then if you want you can add a pair of subs at some point giving you a decent 1.5k p.a. One small rig I`ve been using in a 150-200 capacity bar is the LD Dave15" range [url="http://www.ld-systems.com/293-1-ld-dave-15-g2.html"]http://www.ld-system...dave-15-g2.html[/url] The amp is in the sub, and it gives 400watts for the sub, and 150 watts each for the tops. We stick everything through it, full kit, keys, bass, guitar and vox, and it sounds great. I`ve seen one or two of these on eBay for around £350-400. You would still need a mixer and a couple of speaker stands though

Look like Gotoh (or copies) to me, can`t you buy them new from axerus etc?

Well worth the time to see if he can improve. If not, it won`t be your fault and you can honestly say you made the effort.

Click.Or metronome. He must be aware of this as any recording will show it up. Make sure he realises that you are prepared to work for his benefit when it would be easier to get another more proficient player. Won`t take long to find out if he can improve.

The limiter is the same. There were plans to enhance it but it never happened. To my knowledge the only difference on a III is the D.I out can be routed pre-or post eq on an external button as opposed to the II which is an internal jumper. Nothing else is different.
