How to use in ear monitors?

[@SalAveNU]

I'm a NYC subway busker, and I'm very glad I started using in ear monitors. First of all they protect my ears from the subway noise. Another reason is I play with recordings of me playing acoustic guitar. With these monitors I can hear the tracks playing even when a train is flying by me.

@@SalAveNU That is sick! Yeah that’s something I never considered for buskers, the noise must be insane especially when you cannot hear yourself! Glad it’s worked out for you 🙌🏼

Cool video! but be careful with 1 IEM out bro - it is going to wreck your ear drums permanently if you do this regularly during shows

[@DavidMarkThomasMusic]

Thank you very much! Totally agree man! It’s one of my weird comforts during shows 🤦🏻‍♂️ Usually I keep all brass instruments and drums to my left (the ear I keep in all the time) but yeah it’s definitely something I need to work on!

How do you initially sync your personal cue track with the song/rest of the band? (Not a muso but a band photog)

[@DavidMarkThomasMusic]

So basically I’ve purchased a cue pack online that has a lot of the cues there but you can record them yourself. And usually you’ll load them up in any recording software and then put them the same side as your click track and then make sure they’re fairly audible and then when the click track gets fed to your in ears the cues come and the same time too. So you basically pan all instruments the audience is going to hear one side and then you pan everything just the band is going to hear the other 😌 hope that explains it and thanks for commenting!

Yeah, next time you make a video about professional sound and your mic goes out, REDO the video!!!

[@DavidMarkThomasMusic]

Just something I have a lot of experience in, I am a professional guitarist that uses them week in week out, but I’m not a professional video maker 🤷🏻‍♂️ sorry I’ve upset you x
