here's a hack for guitarists: split your signal in at least two (using e.g. a chorus pedal ) and use 2 tracks on a mixer mix clean and effected signal. and only route the clean to your monitor. your precision will increase and would sound great.

Finally! Literally the only video I've found on KZbin going over speaker placement of one single speaker with reverb for a solo gigging artist. THANK YOU! A more in depth video going over EQ (when you hear the feedback do you turn down the high/low EQ for both vocal and guitar?) and gain (where there heck do I put my gain for vocal and guitar) and height & position of speaker (my speaker sits on the ground standing up right...is that wrong?). I play a ton of outside gigs, bars, and restaurant - this was so helpful! Now I can tuuuurn up with no feedback!
@jimpemberton5 жыл бұрын
I run live sound for large events occasionally, so I'm used to using a ton of equipment. I also occasionally play keys in smaller venues with setups like what you are talking about here. One thing that may be more or less important depending on the size of your venue with a smaller setup is the need to tie the band together in the same speakers. The old school method of having each musician that uses an amp bring the amp they use and mic the amp is a good one. They have developed a certain sound with that amp and need to be able to use it to hear themselves play. The new school way of using direct boxes to pull the preamp signal and turn it into an xlr connection into the main mix is fine. Most musicians are used to this now. The issue is that you still have sound sources pointed at the audience other than what is coming through the main mix. Vocalists and other instruments (drums are a special case) that don't have their own amps will be exclusively in the main mix. This can cause level issues the farther you get from the stage. I'll give you an example: I was vacationing over the 4th in a small tourist town that pulled in a live band in a small park downtown. They were cranked up to be heard throughout the town, but not so much so that people couldn't sit around the gazebo they were in and enjoy them. As we approached the center of town (walking), I heard the vocalist. That's it. Only a vocalist. As we got closer, I could hear a little bit of guitar, then bass, then a hint of drums. As I got close to the band, I realized that they also had a keyboardist. By this time the levels of the band were starting to even out. They were fine musicians, but you couldn't really appreciate them until you got right up to the gazebo. The reason the mix was so bad farther out was because only the bass drum of the set was mic'ed and there were no woofers in the mains to give it the oomph to carry. Lower frequencies don't carry as far as higher ones and you need woofers with enough power for the system if you want to do that. Bass drums are white noise and the harmonic structure doesn't exist to carry the boom over the harmonics effectively. The keyboard had a nice smaller amp that put out some sound, but was small and on the ground. Everyone at the gazebo was absorbing the sound from it and not enough was in the main mix to carry it further out. The bass guitar and guitar were in a similar situation, except that their amp speakers were larger. They each had tall amps. They were directed into the mix, but couldn't be raised too much because of the sound they had coming out of the amps. The speakers for the main mix were raised on stands over the heads of the audience. That's why only the vocalist was carrying throughout town. What they had was good for a small area. However, they would have been better served to have a good woofer or two, turn the amps down to use only as monitors, mic the set, and run things mostly through the main mix.

good information. my most challenging PA setup to date was a large bluegrass band. the reason it's challenging is that you have several acoustic instruments you are trying to make louder (without feedback), particularly the guitar, mando, or dobro (banjo's never really have a problem being too soft now, do they?), balancing that with a fiddle and bass that are using pickups and preamps to get louder. Add several vocal mics to that, and you have a pretty intense mix that has all sort of potential pitfalls. I am using a digital mixer (A&H Qu-16) which allows me to mix from the audience via tablet. A god-send.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb Question, I am new to having a "Professional" Microphone... (I mostly play guitar) but I do sing as well and needed a Professional Microphone. I bought a Discontinued "Crown CM-310" Microphone... I know I need an XLR Cable, but after that I have no idea what I need... The description of the Crown CM-310 Mic I bought said I needed Phantom Power, but I know someone who has the same Microphone and they said they don't need Phantom Power. I just want to have my Crown CM-310 Mic, with a XLR Cable, and hooked up to a straight Floor Monitor (like I don't want to go through the whole having a Mixer stage), any suggestions on what I need to use to plug my Mic Into XLR (was thinking of the Magomi Gold Male to Female '25 Inch XLR Cable), and I don't know about what style of PA system to buy. I was going to get this Sound Tech S 20 (4-Channel) with 2 10" PA Speakers but someone bought it... So I was either looking at a Yamaha BR12M 12 2-way 300 Watt Passive Floor Monitor. Or this Mackie 1000 Watt PA/Amplifier SRM 450. But with either of those PA Monitors could I just have my Mic, the XLR Cable one end hooked into the Microphone and the other end of the XLR Cable straight into the PA Monitor? Is that possible? Like I said I'm new to Professional Microphones and I have no idea what to get to be able to play guitar loud with my effect boxes and have a mic to be able to hear myself sing... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Rych.

Unless your using computer speakers, the best advice anyone will give you on studio monitors is to treat your listening area. Unless your spending over a $2K on a pair (and even then) all monitors will have their areas of weakness. As you use a particular set of monitors for mixing, and listening to reference tracks, you will learn where you need to compensate for those particular monitors. Spend your time and then your money on treating the space.
@alphanumeric15296 жыл бұрын
You can spend all that money on gear and not need studio monitors. It is only a subset of people who are recording and mixing their own music. Many people simply play music, or write music or rehearse music to later be performed or recorded. The point of buying instruments and amps is so you can actually play music, not record it. All the rest of the world is producing/recording music without the need of all the gear. And don't believe everything Saam is saying. It's not so stark, some hit music has been mixed on hi fi speakers, despite what he may try to sell you. If you're a knuckle head any $300-500 pair of monitors is going to be better than your ears for several years. After that, if you put in years developing your ear, you can listen to monitors for yourself and make your own decisions. Saam is right, you do need room treatment, and real room treatment, not like "Studio Foam" or egg crate. You'll need legit Roxul rockwool, or some Owens Corning 703 panels. Endless vids about acoustic control on YT, millions of free articles. Just spend some time and then do it. Personally, I'd recommend splitting your monitoring budget on speakers and treatment. $600 budget, $300 monitor pair, $300 room treatment.

So my questions are 1) how much wattage of speaker do i need for about 70people in a gig? 2) i have a Roland Cube 50w as my electric guitar amp, is it better to have the beringer PA\Monitor 150w speakers than roland? 3) how do i set up a sound thats not too loud in front but can have a full clear sound around the bar? 4) do i really need a speaker monitor in a small gigs?
@jeffmcclellan13955 жыл бұрын
1.) dont concern yourself with watts, concentrate on coverage, 70 people jam packed into a tiny dive bar can probably make do with even just one speaker, a mid sized bar or coffee house two (of any power rating) will do fine for small or solo ensembles. if that 70 person crowd is in a basketball gym, youll need multiple speakers facing multiple directions to keep everyone in the loop. 2.)i never recommend behringer products, yeah the price is great but the equipment is horrid. if youre asking if you should just have your guitar amp and pa for the audience, you could throw a mic in front of the guitar amp and get the coverage needed. i guess im not 100%sure what youre asking here? 3.)easiest way to fill the room with sound once the audience shows up is to have the speakers above the audience, either on speaker stand/poles or suspended from the cieling if available, bodies absorb sound so when the speakers are body level, nost of the sound is absorbed before it reaches the back of the room. 4.)thats all on you, if your audience is small and listens quietly, and youre able to hear yourself from the main speakers even without them being pointed at you, then no, but it is handy to own at lease one just in case. hope this helps, good luck!

check your eq settings, i always reccomend "flat" settings on these types of electronic instruments and amps just due to the fact they are sound samples and have been pre engineered from the manufacurer. beyond that, it may be an issue where the amp is either just cheap, or could be in need of repairs. also, make sure you are using stereo patch cables, not mono guitar cables, some of those machines send low frequencies down one pole and high down another so a mono cable would be missing half of the signal effectively

use an external reverb processor, several iptiins under $100, feed it from an aux send off the mixer if one is available, ideally in post fader mode, bring the signal back into the mixer on an empty channel, usually a stereo channel, and use the aux send on that channel to feed your monitor. this lets your engineer (if available) "dial" in appropriate levels per song and even mute between songs so it doesnt wear people out. if you have money (1k-2.5k) digital mixers have loads of features that analogue ones don't, and nearly all of them have highly functional effects processors built in that have lots of fine tuning options, options that a small analogue mixer with built in preset effects just dont have.

stereo is left and right. to more simply answer your question, no, the sound will not be negatively affected
