On your days off, in a city like san fran I would be looking at trying to getting a booking with one of their many great tattoo artists out there. But that's me!

Hang on to it for a bit longer and see which you instinctively want to pick up first

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1457440718' post='2998534'] I put the password on there myself. [/quote] What is it?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1457427625' post='2998290'] Guess it sucks to watch your show if you are off centre of the stage. [/quote] It's up to the engineer what they do with the stereo feed I expect it'll get mixed down to mono in larger venues but in a smaller venue the stereo sound can really bring the place to life. Bear in mind we're not talking extreme stereo most of the time (there's a little bit of motion just to catch people off guard sometimes though haha). It just helps with the separation of sounds and makes everything sound "bigger"

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1457426942' post='2998281'] You run stereo front of house? [/quote] Generally yeah, unless there's anything weird going on. I run a Korg Kronos 2 and the sounds are well suited to stereo in a live environment. Both vox run tc helicon voicelive 2 units

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1457401286' post='2998214'] Is stereo (or bi-channel..?) [i]so [/i]important for monitoring..? Does anyone [i]really [/i]go for that..? [/quote] Both our vocals and our keys are in stereo so it could become fairly vital

[quote name='Chrismanbass' timestamp='1457191017' post='2996205'] [url="http://www.read-audio.com/"]http://www.read-audio.com/[/url] Have a look at these guys they all used to work for ACS but have now set up their own company they're excellent value and their 48 hour turn around is the fastest you're going to find anywhere [/quote] Thanks for this one! They look like they may be worth a look for IEM too!

[quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1457359178' post='2997700'] They need to do a Ding-Bongo (which is a bit like a drink we used to have as kids), and then maybe a [/quote] Dongo

I've seen a fair few metal bands sporting them

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1456928510' post='2993645'] I can understand that. I really need to see if there's some musicians who just like Playing in St Ives, Cambs. I was spoiled in leeds and liverpool, you couldn't throw a stone without it bouncing off 2 musicians. [/quote] There used to be a fairly lively scene at the taproom that might be worth scoping out, also check out the studios at Wyton to see who's looking

Give me the baloney

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1457094885' post='2995280'] Remember, you'll need two auxes for a stereo IEM mix... so thinking that your desk with 6 auxes is plenty... well, it depends upon what you need. Thats a maximum of 3 stereo mixes, or 6 mono mixes, with a mixture of stereo and monitor mixes in-between those two boundaries. [/quote] So the behringer XR12 would only do one stereo mix? Drat... screw it we can all share

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1457093607' post='2995251'] What else is needed? A great PA and a guy with good ears to mix it. [/quote] We'll be mostly on the metal circuit (we play symphonic metal), generally speaking you don't need your own PA as the venues have them or you hire one. Would love to have a dedicated sound guy, this is mostly aimed at getting decent sound at rehearsals to be honest!

Ok, So if I've got this right : Behringer XR12 (Stereo Keys, 2xStereo Vocals, Bass DI, Mic'd Guitar) - £259 http://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-x-air-xr12/120956?gclid=CjwKEAiAgeW2BRDDtKaTne77ghgSJACq2U4b8Rzr-C4Ju9o2J4gLFuJI3qQrdugEgSGPlA2BNqe8FRoC7pLw_wcB 2x Gear4Music or similar 3 pack : £120 (£240 total) to allow for one vocal mix (2 people) / one band mix (4 people) Stereo out from XR12 goes to PA for if anyone doesn't want to use in ears or to a recording device Drums let in acoustically because initially we'll have cheapy headphones. Would that work ok?

Yeah I would bet on Rotos

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1457089730' post='2995162'] Thoroughly recommend the Behringer XR(x). [/quote] The behringer XR looks interesting. What's the deal with getting the mix to the PA afterwards? Just use the XLR Outs? Really reasonably priced!

Cheers guys! Mostly makes sense to me! Just trying to work out a mixing desk on a budget. Bear in mind initially I'm looking at this for to combat the fact that rehearsal studio PAs are just not up to it (two vocalists, heavy on keys)

Other than the IEM kit itself what else is needed? How do you go about sorting the mix? We're struggling with volumes and I think this route could really help us tighten up significantly

Just put 12 pictures of blue bars on a page and a key. Job done

If you're just trying to do a visual without any kind of meaning I would go for something like Inkscape but it may take a little time to learn

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1456397487' post='2988506'] i played on the back of a lorry in a town in the fens if that helps? [/quote] Always fun

I liked it up until the solo mark. Up until then it had an almost dream theatre sort of feel to it. Incredibly tight playing

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1455591057' post='2980521'] I'm going to make it to Liverpool someday one way or the other. And when I get there I'm going to kiss the ground. Blue [/quote] I really wouldn't advise that
