FM3 Basics Episode 11 Live Setup Direct Only

[@jcaryali]

Hello Rosh, Juan Carlos from Spain. I have FM3. Your opinion about the best way to use It in two different situation: in a pub or similar space, and in stage with PA system, monitors, etc The FM3 go to PA direct with 2 xlr, but what IS the best way to monitoring me for sound good in both stage?. I have laney VC30 112, and i don't know if is It better frfr, or buying in ears,... What is your opinion. Can you tell me?? THANKS

[@RoshRoslin]

I think any situation really depends on what you're used to hearing on stage. I personally use FRFR, but some players just can't deal with that. If you're used to a guitar cabinet behind you, use a power amp or the fx loop return of your laney.

The great part about having the fm3 and running it into the fender tone master fr10 and fr12 is they have a thru that’s doesn’t touch the tone at all and the eq and cut on the tone master doesn’t affect that output so you can just plug the front of house into the back of the tonemaster fr 10 and 12 and your good to go they have different volumes so you can use the to change volume on stage if you need it. I just like having an amp behind me because I always have had one before I started running frfr so yea it’s a great plus when thinking which frfr speaker to get and they’re only 450 and you can spread them when your stereo more them a cab with two 12s stereo

Yup, I cover all these in my review of the fender fr12. It's a great solution for many users.

Hello Rosh. I really love your videos. it's very informative. I need a suggestion from you. As in your videos you are using Roland exp pedals. have you also tried M-audio exp pedals. I am planing to get one which is best for the budget. M-audio is the cheapest I guess

[@RoshRoslin]

Hey, I actually just started using an M-audio expression pedal after a roland one broke on a gig. I think they're a great lightweight and cheap alternative. Just make sure the taper knob is always set correctly (to full) and you don't use the reverse polarity switch on the bottom. Lastly, make sure it;s calibrated correctly. Highly recommended. I'm not a fan of the straight plug as opposed to the angled plugs of the roland, but as long as nobody steps on the plug you should be fine

[@marklynch403]

So which xlr are you plugged into left or right ???

[@RoshRoslin]

Either one, when running mono

[@samaldaig]

Very helpful thanks 🙏

[@RoshRoslin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marklynch403]

So I run exactly like this a out xlr straight to the mixer and then he feeds me to the monitors . It's really frustrating with volume levels because everyone comes through my monitors

[@RoshRoslin]

I would suggest bringing your own monitor so you have independent control if you don't want to rely on a soundman.

[@marklynch403]

Which xlr out should I use L or R?

[@RoshRoslin]

If you're running mono, Either.
