Sounds like you haven't got a sound engineer that knows their onions!

And IEM should sound clearer than a cab as you are effectively taking a DI without any of the ambient fluff (assuming you aren't micing a cab) - I could understand if you were using some rubbish IEMs, but the KZ10s have bags of bass response and headroom (so there shouldn't be any distortion or farty bottom end)

Got knows what they are doing to cripple your sound that much.

Early compression is a bad idea on IEMs, as it impacts the way that people play and sing - singers especially as any make up gain really screws dynamics and singers tend to back off the mic.

I used to hate this song. Boring. Pants guitar. Yawn. etc...

Thing is, now I've got older and listen to it from a different pov, I've come to realise that it is in fact beautiful. It cropped up on my youtube feed again... I remember watching this for the first time on headphones (suggest you do to) and was blown away by not only the performance but the mastery in the engineering. This, and the Hell Freezes Over of Hotel California... just take me to my happy place.

So, any other songs that you hated but come to love? 

Here you go -

If the future impact werent so big id use that since i have the midiconnect for it

You know some geezer, (forget username) is 3d printing small enclosures for the future impact? Pretty much halves the size?

You don't need a Neuro Hub to use a Micro with the C4. It works over USB Midi - you need a USB Host, but it does work.

I think BRX is trying to get the OP on a standardised MIDI controller. I'm not a big fan of USB and MIDI, cos the tiny USB cables that manufacturers choose to use aren't really gig friendly. (I get it, they take up much less room... but more prone to cable failure)

Very much possible.

You'll need the neuro hub to control the C4.

Midi controller > Plethora (Midi In) > Plethora (Midi Thru) > Neuro Hub connected to C4.

Make sure that both devices are on different channels. Done.

And now I’ve got to Phil’s comment!

Just reading back - the comment about auxes, remember one of the mega pluses of the XR18 is it’s ultranet functionality! Check

out the P16M.

Dave also plays bass guitar.

Right now 5GHz systems appear to be better but expect them to get less reliable as more devices start using this frequency. 

 

5Ghz, using like for like power, has a reduced range and not as good as passing through masses, such as buildings... and bodies of people.

I take it you guys haven't ventured into the IEM thread where I delve into the joys of latency of wireless... and cumulative latency (when you start introducing digital pedals/models/mixing desks etc).

Comparing latency in IEM use and latency through distance from standing from a cab are different - the brain compensates in different ways

And not one mention of latency yet! (Which should be another point of consideration!

ULXD here. Not cheap... but it is a pro touring grade system.

RF never means reliable, as I've always advocated, cable as a backup.

Everything but a a co-ordinated radio setup, where every frequency is specifically calculated and allocated is a bit of a crap shoot. A lot of consumer devices won't give you the flexibility to do this!

Ask Zoom how well their PSU and audio shielding next to their auxes worked out for them...

Im with you on built in power supplies... but you know.

Keeps the transformer away from the mic pres - less chance of noise. If something goes wrong, it's going to be the PSU, so again, user replaceable. So from a consumer pov, probably makes sense... and also makes the unit smaller.

You mean the younger singer (that’s gets the importance of protecting her ears and hearing a much better mix) that has an IEM in her left ear (you can see the cable running parallel with her neck) and the other one hanging over her left shoulder? (Admittedly I wouldn’t recommend doing that)

Am I missing something 😒

Yes, these are old boys, all sporting tinnitus.

Always loved that song, nice authentic sound too. Nice to see some additional angles on the go too. Always lifts stuff up.

How have you miced up the drums? Sounds like a kick and overhead but unless I'm being blind I can't see it...

Its nothing particularly clever, it's just a high end roll off, to mimic what you would get due to the capacitance of a longer instrument cable.

Huh? How?

Yes, that was my thinking.    I assume the proximity of the desk router isn't helping (5-10m away)?  

 

I'm about to trial a cheapie 5.ghz system and if the drop out ceases/eases, I'll look at an upgrade.  I've read/reread your excellent IEM bible so many times and the wired IEM is starting to work for me BUT I need to go wireless at some point but don't want to regress and induce more issues.  Time will tell.    

 

Wireless defo brings with it extra challenges. Realistically, for reliable wireless, you want to be investing in Channel 38 kit... however, that comes at a much greater cost than the consumer 2.4 stuff. Co-ordinating wireless at a professional level, is not just turning gear on and scanning. Every unit is given a specifically calculated frequency, that works with all the ambient rf, without clashing. I don't think vendors really sell that mixing brands and models all adds to the chaos.

Are any of my/our issues caused/compounded by the masses of devices using the same frequencies both in the band and surrounding environment?  Is there an answer?  

Yes. Don't use 2.4ghz. It's oversubscribed and only has 3 truly intermodulation free frequencies. Totally uncoordinated chaos.

OK, they havent got the overhang of the Wal, but it's quite a good likeness?
