bassist_lewis Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I used in-ears for the first time in a long time last night. The sound was obviously much clearer than using a floor monitor, but I found myself feeling really self-conscious and less able to get into the music. Anyone else had this experience?

EBS_freak Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It's part of the transition - but can you disclose more about how you feel self-conscious? Is it because you can hear any little mistakes a lot more clearly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also very bright, which is not the kind of tone I like. I mentioned that to the guitarist and he says his sound is the same and he usually asks the sound engineer to roll off some of the top end. I also think it was partly because I haven't played with this band in 3/4 years and all the members are very experienced and top notch musicians. I'm not likely to get the opportunity to get used to IEMs as I'm not with any band full time, and most don't have the facility for them.
