What do singers say to that kind of monitoring > - do they feel more free or more "plugged"? > hi Peter, you may find that some musicians are too sensitive to the in-ear monitors due to their generic shape. This same issue may cause some leakage to get back into the mics, that is, you may get a big enough gap due to a lose fit. The advantage is that you don't need to send too high of a signal into them and that'll avoid a high level leakage. Lastly, some singers prefer to have one ear on the monitor and one off so that they can hear themselves. I guess you can always tape over the hanging monitor and carry on. -otto ======================================= Audio, Recording, Network Engineering / Percussion GxM Consulting Philomath, Oregon, US ________________________________________________________________________ Logic OT - new web forums! http://logic-users.org/forums/L-OT - Search the entire archive: http://logic-users.org/forums/L-OT/search - To UNSUBSCRIBE: email [email protected] Yahoo!
