    Oosh

    Before anybody does something like that, understand the size and weight of them and whether you can transport/lift them. Having run 8004s (similar spec size/weight) for years, its a life of two person lifts, vans and wheelchair ramps. Oh and Blue wheels are a must. (Should go without saying)

    These are new to me - quite new to the market. I'll drop them here for you to look at - https://inearz.com/collections/helyes

    I reckon I have a workable MacGyver solution for under 200 quid. Downside? Mono. I'll keep hunting. The downside of that integrated phone mic - probably not capable of coping with high spl... which shouldn't be a problem as we are all on silent stage... right?
  5. EBS_freak
    Agreed. There's quite a specialist requirement here - a mic preamp, amplifier, and a means to mix the output from a headphone amp to a new output... Very niche!

    I swear nobody reads my posts... https://inear.de/en/products/monitoring/active-ambience-sound/hearmix-pro ^ mic on cable solution.

    Mono - Balanced connection.

    Authentic vocal or what?! Nice. Enjoyed that.
  9. EBS_freak
    Not me playing - but I was asked to do some video. Not bad (I think?) for one man and two cameras.
  10. EBS_freak
    Well done that man!

    Oh and @Phil Starr - it's nice to hear somebody appreciates my advice. Its all based on real world experience and my own journeys - and I genuinely want to get people to a better place as quickly (and as cheap) as possible so they can enjoy what I have enjoyed.
  12. EBS_freak
    I 100% get it. It is a leap of faith. And it's loads of money for something which effectively looks like something you get free with your phone. I was exactly in the same position. Everybody tip toes in - and even worse - historically, there was no affordable multi-driver universal IEM to do that with. You will save the money if you go full in day 1... but there's that confidence thing... and yes, it's a lot of cash as soon as you commit to the custom IEM route. Remember this when you get to the inevitable though "If you ask any musician sporting custom IEMs whether they would ever give them up, listen to the answer. It will be consistent." Custom tips is a good half way house... but I can already tell you the bit you will be annoyed with. The fit will will be great - but when you take the IEMs out of your ear, the fit on the custom tip will be so good, it will stay in your ear when the IEM comes out. And the other element of course, is that they won't lie as flat as they could... so get ready to potentially channel your inner Shrek. But genuinely - I am looking forward to hearing about your updates!

    Instead of filling this post with nonsense, why don't you dive into each others DMs and make out there instead?
  14. EBS_freak
    Again, can relate.

    You see, I have made that mistake... Ask a musician to put themselves into the PA, and they will buy the cheapest XLRs which will cut in and out with ends which get stuck in the desk sockets, the crappest DI boxes - and then look at you when nothing works. And that's assuming they actually remember to bring the gear to actually put themselves through the PA. Thinking of stuff to save a gig... I play through a Kemper because I know if the guitarists rig turns to 5h17, I can give my rig to them and I can go direct. I carry round spare adapters for all sorts of things... and a soldering iron. I have been known to run an electric kit from a pedal board power supply because the drummer seemed to forget an important element of their electric kit. I carry around spare strings for instruments I dont even play. I carry around spare IEMs. I carry a pair of drumsticks - which I have had to use, only for the drummer to then complain they were the wrong weight. The amount of times the band would have been left high and dry without my ability to improvise and think my way out of issues is beyond a joke. That's just the surface. Basically, I own enough equipment and spares to be a band by myself... because people are inept. But whats worse, because they know I've got their back in all situations, they are even more complacent! The more "pro" a musician is, the more of a liability they are.

    Its the sound of the room and audience you are going to be getting. Assuming that you want to hear your screaming fans! The multiple input Zooms are the one, feed from the mics... plus freed from your PA auxes.
  17. EBS_freak
    Exactly. I think a lot of people get obsessed about the idea of ambient, but in reality, most people don't miss it.
  18. EBS_freak
    Nope - I use a 125 B - but a DR Lo-Rider. Like you, was hunting for more tension - loved the sound of the Hi-Beams but wanted a bit more tension, which is where the Lo-Rider comes into play. (Just wanted to say that as it's not all about gauge which influences the tension.

    https://www.inear.de/en/products/monitoring/active-ambience-sound/hearmix-pro Alternative where you can use your own customs as the mics are on the cable (as long as you are using a two pin connector) Just throwing them into the melting pot of options.
  20. EBS_freak
    If you sound check things should be ok - as with inears, you are less inclined to have players turn around and mess with their amps. Less ear fatigue also further reduces reduces this risk.
  21. EBS_freak
    I dunno, Id rather see a well lit band than a light show. You know you have hanging bolt points on top of your speaker cabs? Perfect place to put secure a led panel on top of the speaker to cross fire across the stage.
  22. EBS_freak
    Biggest improvement would be to light the band so you can see your faces! I know everybody has their own take on mobile, easy setup lighting... but if you flood light your band then have the other lights doing their thing, the presence of your band will be enhanced. At the moment, there's nothing different between how you are being lit and the people on the dance floor. (I hate sound to light lighting btw so I'm a tough crowd)
  23. EBS_freak
    Im actually pretty impressed with that image quality. How does it do in low, low light?
  24. EBS_freak
    Whatever instrument you are playing, always a bass player.
  25. EBS_freak
    Any sample footage you can share?
