The high end from the mic in the room. Whatever its activating is so distracting.

played for years with a click. Love it. Takes all the frustration of some members who think you're playing too slowly, or quickly, away. I've literally had band mates turn to me as if to say "pick it up" when i have a click banging in my eardrum 😆 and we've played this song 300 times to this click 😆 only for them to remember and realize it's just them, we've agreed on these tempos for the songs after much experimentation. I could've setup up a midi controller to increment the tempo up and down if we'd wanted too. But yeah, it removes arguing over perceived tempo issues, and that's pretty big with a bunch of musicians. The only downside is that I also believe there is something lost in live-performed music without the human-tempo-inconsistencies (usually catalyzed by the musician's perceived "energy" of the music at the time... or liquor, whichever comes first). Oh, and I was happy to be the sole click-keeper. It would've been nice if one or more of them also listened to it, but i get it, and it works just the same, except for their pushing and pulling, which no one else notices but me for the most part. I queued the songs and handled playback, so it makes sense.

Perfectly said!

Impressive!!!😊

Ea ah da 10

Have a nice show!🎉

Great vid man. I'm currently getting ready to use backing tracks for voice cues and click. Got my sub.

Awesome drummer😊

Awesome song 🎵 ♥️

🌟 Promo'SM

I was there! Great show🤘

Good job!! 😮 Setting the world on fire!

Nice great job 👏 nick

Where can I find that cool coffin case? I've looked everywhere. Great vid man! I decided to go the phone route, doesn't make sense for me to be futzing around with a laptop on stage.

Welcome to Twisted Metal tormament

The red cymbals have made a comeback!!

The lead singer looks like old school-faster pussycat. great job on the drums man

Awesome love watching u play ❤

Nice job 👏 👍 nick

I can't believe I never really thought about all these simple adjustments after having played so many years, my back often hurts after playing so I'll definitely be trying this out. Thanks!!

Awesome see u on the road 😎

Awesome nice to know

Nice tips👍

Hey man! I'm using UMC 404hd to run my tracks live from my mobile device. and i wanted to add my behringer xenyx 302(usb) to the interface to have a control like this aswell. Would that work? If yes, what is my routing? Thank you in advanced.

Awesome 😊see u on the road 😊😊

Nice job nick 👏 👍

Awesome

Great video... I also use my (actual) phone with mp3 mono tracks within Setlist Helper app, controlled with a BT pedal, and it is connected to a Bluetooth receiver, which is, in turn, connected to an XR18 on channels 16 (FOH mix) and 17 (Click & Cues Track).

In a situation where you are playing for a band that only has the drummer on a click, how do you handle a break in a song where only the guitar player, for example, plays a part before the band comes back in? Let's just say for a sec, that the guitar player pushes the tempo (which they never do!).. What's the standard way of handling parts of songs where there are no drums in these types of scenarios?

Why would you not want to hear vocals as part of your total mix?

FINALLY a video that actually shows and explains how to set everything up properly! Question though, if you don't need to mix any of the tracks, could you use an audio interface instead of the mixer? I personally have a behringer ur22c and was wondering if I can still get it to work. Also, do you HAVE to have the DI box?

What if there is no "headphone" out from your source. Whats the setup?

Playing a lot of 80s synth stuff it's great to have the backings. Easier to travel as 4 than 5. 😅

Good idea and good cause!

Great video! Very good explanation of the routing and logic behind that setup!

very good vid!!! saving for reference!

This is great, thanks Nick!

Very helpful 🤘🏻

Great video - always informative. Well done and thanks

Awesome it's great to know how it works

Thanks for the insight man, my setup is pretty similar and you helped clear one of the questions I had. Loved the clip hack for the extension, that is a cheap and affordable way for drummers without the need of another device.

100% 👏👏👏🤘

I wonder why that topic is on your mind, because it's irrelevant for me at the end. People are free to say and think what they want, none of it is going to stop. It's like that never ending topic of matched grip versus traditional grip, or playing the pedal heels down or heels up, and so on. As a child, we are growing up in a certain reality of technologies and music. The fact is, our reference about what is good or bad, what is acceptable or not, is only link to our generation. The best example would be those guys complaining about the new technologies of CD-ROM instead of Vinyl, less warm and so on. Who is still listening to Vinyl, if not those old guys from the past? The most important part for me as a drummer is to hear my instrument, and not some sample from trigger or something like that. In fact, if you would listen to any of my video, you will hear the sound coming from the instrument like someone playing the piano or the trompet. But the hot topic of ''cheating'' live on stage because the band is using some prerecorded track, is not a hot topic at all to begin with... A singer, alone with his guitare, playing live on a stage with backing tracks, that's the real thing hurting drummer. Just like paying for a DJ instead of hiring a band.

Thank u it was awsome to know about backing tracks abd rhe real use of them

Impressive as always!!

Amazing ❤
