My last post just got me thinking. Does anyone know if i can add a fader in Mixing station to control the overall level of a monitor being controlled from a P-16, or better still, just mute it? i had to play music between sets at the last gig and on stage it was really loud, but out front hardly anything. He had left his monitor on and i just couldn’t tell if the FOH was even on. At the moment the music is streamed from my laptop, which is also my sound source, so he has to have this in his monitor while we are playing. If it were a separate device then obviously he could have that always muted. -
My old drummer was a real Luddite, and in a way still is, but the tribute band he is in have just invested in an XR18 and a few bits just for IEM/stage monitors. They always use a house PA but have struggled with monitors. It took me a while to explain what can be achieved these days, and they (he) built a small IEM rack, based on the XR18 and a couple of splitters. For less than £500 they will never really have to worry about monitors again. Even the drummer in my band, who admits he is a dinosaur and refuses anything to do with IEM, has just brought a P-16 for his floor monitor. The downside to this is he had it really loud at the last gig and i had no control over it. I’ve banned anyone else getting one. We use 3 powered floor monitors and i shudder to think how loud they will be pushed.

Yeah, it’s just for IEM, as i agree with you, it just add’s a bit of air to the sound, especially nice in stereo.

This is what i do for my IEM mix. We use one reverb for FOH, and a separate one for IEM mixes. I have a bit on the bass and a bit more on the vocals. While we can just have the reverb to FOH or IME, or both, i prefer to keep the two separate. I prefer a shorter reverb in the IEM mix.

Noticed Andertons now have stock. My Amazon order is due on Thursday so I’ll stick with that.

It does sound like a fit issue to me. Maybe at the next one walk away as far as you can and see if the sound changes. Yes, with MS you can open it in personal mixer mode, you just select which buss you want to control, or can chose your Aux feed on the home screen and get the same result. Id also recommend an app called MX-Bus. This is designed just for using with monitor/IEM mixes, and doesnt get you to the main FOH screen. a bit easier to use on the flay IME.

Thats what we use. One idea is you could use the built in Amp sim on your channel of the IEM. This gives it a bit of life. My bass player DI's in to ours, and the bass sounds ok to me in my IEM's. Not spectacular, but as its a direct input with nothing as far as FX goes, its a sound I would be happy with if I was were playing bass. I'd say if the Guitars are sounding ok (and the drums?) then it could well be the fit of the IEM's or a drastic EQ making you lose the low end. Ive had occasions where my IEM mix has got drowned out by the stage volume and its sound awful, but re seating the IEM's fix it. I get a good fit, but if I shout or smile too much I find the fit can loosen a bit, and that can let too much noise in.

Nice one. Thanks.

Please tell him I am patiently waiting for his GP-50 review 😂
-
I can see a difference if I look close enough, but I never thought I needed to. Surprised they managed to print the name on them but I didnt even know it was there until I decide to look for it last night. So the IE100's (clear) are a little less transparent compared to the clear IE400 Even worse, she stopped using them about 6 months ago (I didnt know this), because one of he foam tips ripped off and she assumed they were special fits so she brought a £20 set of those nasty Chinese ones (not KZ's), and has been using them. So my IE400's were disgarged.
-
Ive been eyeing up the GP-100 for a while, but i don’t want anything that has an expression pedal making it larger. The GP-50 looks ideal. I use my GP-5 all the time now, but do sometimes wish i could make small tweaks on the fly without needing my phone.
-
Apparently yes. Same bit rate/quality etc, although a slight increase in dynamic range i believe.
-
OMG, this is crazy. As i said recently, ive used my singer’s IE100 pro’s for a bit. I really like them. I was just putting them way and realised i wasnt sure which is which, they both look similar. My IE400’s have more worn tips from using them more, her’s tips are newer that i put on a while ago. I noticed one has a more transparent case as well. Looking closely at ‘mine’, using a magnifying app on my phone, i was shocked to see IE100 on them. So it seems ive been using IE100’s for months, well over a year at least, and she has had my IE400’s 😂. Now i know why i liked her’s so much. Bloody hell 🙄
-
So who's upgrading to the GP-50? Already placed my pre order in.
-
Yeah, saw that, thanks. Strangely Amazon are now showing out of stock with no option to purchase. I have about £60 balance with them so that was the reason i went with Amazon. If other places get stock in before i get the order I’ll cancel and use somewhere else.
-
Yeah, although 4 hours wouldn’t get me through a rehearsal. Hoping it will work with the Chocolate plus.
-
Ordered from Amazon for £109. No idea how long the wait is but it's exactly what I feel the GP-5 is missing.
-
Yeah, thats the same video i watched before doing it.
-
Id still love to try the Tone X one, but it seems more hassle and expense to get the Chocolate Plus working with it.
-
Oh yeah, not knocking them as such, just wish they had a few more options.
-
Agree, the Modulation effects are very limited.
-
Yeah, to me that’s way too expensive for what it is.
