That's a really useable mixer for in ears and the app is very straightforward so you will have lots of control over your mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Are you using the 5 driver IEMs - or the ZSTs - which seem to be the more popular models in the guitarist world (again, internet rumours haven't helped people out here... The ZST dual drivers won't really pack that much in the bass or have that much headroom (still kick the stinky poo out of a 215 though)) If it's your first outting with IEMs, it's going to take some getting used to. You may want to split some channels on the desk to get you a better EQ through to your IEMs. I am also guessing you are running a standard flat EQ with no compression on your aux either - basically because people don't know what they are doing with desks. Stick with it. Do some homework and fine tuning and you'll be well happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I ran a mostly flat EQ and my DI is post EQ with no compression, although I can do so on my Zoom B3n if I wish. It was OK, but think I need a bit more of myself in the mix, or just less everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will put a lot of the lost bass back, if your inears aren't particularly great at reproducing bass (headroom withstanding) Your point is valid though - people tend to not run their packs as hard as they should.... they start boosting on the mixer, without just turning the volume up on the pack and then turning the other instruments down. Boosting, boosting, boosting will just lead to distortion and a lack of headroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
