Monitor Mix Panning Secrets

Super helpful

So much yes. Don’t be afraid of hard panning. I promise you really don’t need that thing to be in both ears.

Matt Snyder yes exactly!! It’s so important!

Hello Matt, thank you for this explanation, but i really need some help with my in ear mix, nobody has given me an aswer yet and I am starting to lose hope.. I'm a guitarist and I ran two different amps at the same time, one amp comed out only from the left Speaker of Pa and the other goes only to the right... How Can I make the same panning in my wireless in ear monitor? Our mixer has only one mono aux for me... And another mono aux for the drummer. Is there a way to turn that mono aux into a stereo aux? :(

[@WorshipSoundGuy]

You'd have to set it up as a stereo feed from the mixing board. It can definitely be done, but it just requires the audio tech to send a dedicated left and right channel for you rather than just a mono send.

can you elaborate on the double patching 1 electric guitar guitar mic to create a stereo patch? we use a yamaha TF5 mixer running dante protocol

[@WorshipSoundGuy]

For sure! So "double patching" just means that you're assigning the same input to multiple channels. So on your TF5 for example, say that you had the guitar plugged in to input 1 on your stage box, so over on the patching section, you'd assign input 1 to feed channel 1 AND channel 2. So the same input is feeding two channels on the board. From there, to get the stereo effect, you're simply going to delay one of those channels by a few milliseconds and it will sound more spread out in your in-ears. You can also play around with EQ-ing the channels slightly differently to make them sound even more separated. Let me know if that works for you!

Thank you!! Any mixing/panning recommendations for bands that have to share IEM stereo mixes? For example, we are currently only able to offer 2 separate IEM stereo mixes for our band (piano, keys, guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass, vocalist). Thanks!

[@WorshipSoundGuy]

Absolutely! So monitor mixing is something we cover a lot in our Sound Guy Essentials course at www.SoundGuyEssentials.com but a few things on sharing mixes: first, you want to make sure that the people sharing mixes make logical sense. So for example you don't want the drummer and a vocalist sharing a mix. They're going to be too far apart in what they need to hear to be compatible. You want something like two guitarists sharing, or guitar and bass, or maybe bass and keys, or two background vocalists. Just figure out what makes the most sense for you and your band. Second, you want to make sure that the people who are sharing have good communication with each other. Have them talk about what they each like to hear in their mixes and allow them to design a good mix together that they'll both be happy with. Last but not least, I'd recommend having your monitor mix engineer listen in while they actually play through some songs so you can have an objective third person listening in to give help and recommendations. I hope that helps! I'd definitely recommend checking out www.SoundGuyEssentials.com for more!
