Hi all,
after a few gigs with my current two piece (guitar and Synth with baking track from laptop) and I am really struggling for a solution.
basically at gigs for one reason or another, one of us ends up not being able to hear themselves in the monitor well and it makes the whole thing (again, with a backing track) a bit of a mess.
I really don’t understand IEM’s apart from being told that not every venue is “set up” for them. That being said, we aren’t playing big gigs or anything that would justify such things (we are just about getting more than a line check). We just simply need to have a bit more of a grasp of what’s going on.
I thought about whether we could have a mixer onstage and still send our instruments to the desk after each getting a feel to some ear buds or something, I don’t know if/how this would work.
beyond that I just don’t know if there’s something that I’m not thinking of, Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks!

This way, you'll be in control of your own in-ear mix (albeit both of you will be hearing exactly the same mix) and the house engineer can do what they want with the PA without it affecting you.
If you want more than that - i.e. separate mixes for the two of you or it's important to run the synths in stereo to the PA then we need to have another think. It all depends on what you want mate. You can pick from wired IEMs and a single, shared mix as I've outlined above all the way to wireless IEMs with separate mixes and wireless mix control from your phone.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
