What Each Band Member ACTUALLY HEARS on Stage 🤯 (tap into MISSIO live IEM MIX😱) Joey Castro 2024

[@XeRo333]

I'd definitely turn up the vocals in my mix if I was the drummer. I just want to be able to hear it all evenly, click, vocals, and guitar

[@bluuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

as a drummer who’s not at the performing stage just yet i’d hav to agree

[@fajoe401]

I think at least the vocals are important - Its the way for me to know when which part starts/ends etc.

[@DarkAgeNetwork]

Professional musicians see songs as sections made up of bars. If you’re being paid decent money to be the rhythmic backbone of a group of musicians, it’s not so much about what you prefer, but what allows you to do your job easiest. Most of the time it’s heavy on the click and if you can’t go through the sections in your head, you haven’t been practising 😅 Being a professional musician isn’t as fun as it always sounds. Well it is, but not everything 😅

[@michallasan3695]

Drummers sometimes have problems with rhythmic inaccuracies of guitars.

[@TheSaltiestDamien]

Yeah vocals really help you remember what part of the song you’re at too

[@MiguelCyc]

I play in very small venues... no click, no in ear monitors, we all hear the same... it's humble and messy but it's real and fun for us.

[@rolanddeschain6089]

Yeah. In ear pieces? Monitors? The only click I hear is when the singer falls of the stage with the mic.

[@albertkotze8974]

This is where we all start, currently on that journey as well :)

[@austint1151]

When you upgrade you'll be mind-blown. You'll feel like you went from sounding like a garage band to professionals. Monitors and an axe fx 3 are HUGE life changers. Playing progressive/off time stuff is so much crisper. Not every gig needs it but purity testing new technology is how you fall behind, we get invited back often now lol

[@filippolippi02]

There have been many great bands that never ever played to a click in a live show. It's not a necessity. I prefer those bands tbh

[@BCam-m4w]

​@@austint1151im in groups that do both and it's not much of a game changer if you arent singing. A click can be beneficial though ill give you that

[@AlbinoJedi]

As a drummer I can't imagine only hearing the drums and click. Need to hear some semblance of the music I'm playing with.

[@KikoKay-Kay]

Yeah i was thinking the same. Would drive me barmy 😅

[@merijn639]

yeah I agree, Its so much easier remembering parts when theres actual context

[@6idangle]

For real that’s wild

[@dylswerb7492]

As a bassist, I don't hear anything except for the fact that my bass isn't loud enough

[@iettptt]

word😂

[@ReidMeyer-dr1mb]

Fr I play bass in my jazz band and concert band and I’m always turning it up during songs 💀

[@ThisIsGers]

😂😂😂

[@apaleguy]

Guitarist here and I've been saying that for years. Bass needs more prominence.

[@GKB.official]

🤣

[@justjeemy5646]

having no bass as a drummer is criminal. It's a team effort, he's not just keeping time with you you're keeping time with eachother

[@maxjbg]

This is not the same. You can both play in time but it can sound meh together

[@mr.anderson6660]

Yes! For me, i am a drummer too, the bass is the most important Sound i want to hear, together its the Rhythm group. Guitar and Singer low.

[@radfury23g32]

Came here to say the same thing. If the drummer is actually only hearing a click than someone severely misadvised him

[@ThrockmortonJGildersleeve]

I agree ...Depends on if ya have a decent Behs player tho 😅

[@PeteBaldwin]

Yeah I was was going to say - I usually like lots of bass in my mix but there have been times where I've said "ok fuck that - no bass. You can follow me!"

[@austing.8870]

I'm a drummer and like the full mix in my monitors. I typically don't need a ton of bass because I can get that with stage volume, but guitar leads, keys, vocals, yeah I absolutely need that.

[@QWRTkeyboard]

I haven't used iems on stage but I probably would like to hear my band but mostly the intrument I play, similar to vocalist's mix in this video.

[@samhudson390]

Song is Aztec Death Whistle by Missio in case anyone was wondering, took me a minute to find it.

[@johnfink9020]

Drummers: we wanna hear it all.

[@stevecarter8810]

I wouldn't enjoy it like this. The chaos gives you the adrenaline.

[@finnyfinnster4694]

Too sterile

[@Necro-s]

That bass is delicious

[@KonnerJohnson]

Love it

[@benjiboy9907]

If I was drumming, I’d probably want the vocalist louder in the mix. Probably a good bit of guitar and bass too. Still mostly click and myself, but having the rest of the song there makes playing more fun.

[@arguellescisnerosmovies2442]

Jazz drummers: click?

[@domjfante8140]

Using a click to play jazz is a felony 😂

[@allyemeraart]

practice subdivisions to a click, play music from the heart

[@tylerlee3439]

^^^^clicks are for practice

[@jasondudeman]

Any musician. Only for practicing something like a few measures of Irrational time signatures and weird timing changes A click has no place in a show

[@domjfante8140]

@@jasondudemanI think if a band wants to give the tightest, most precise performance they can then a click on stage is helpful, especially in a large venue. I wouldn’t argue that it’s always necessary, but it’s helpful for ensuring the band is always together, especially during long pauses.

[@jaymeigs8034]

That cranked up bass sounds absolutely incredible

[@pRoToCoL827]

the drummer looks like he's having the most fun 😂

[@catsrcool2412]

I actually saw MISSIO live, they re fucking brilliant!

[@Likeaweather]

They really are! ❤️‍🔥

[@ultimatedriversofmachinery]

Drum mix is fuckin wild😂😂

[@jeepsnjuice9407]

This is a cool video. I’ve seen plenty of these but they don’t really show it w such simplicity. Good job boys! Where can I go see u guys? I’m in southern Cali! 🍻

[@josiahhab1148]

As a drummer I like to be able to hear everyone, so I’m able to accent and support what they are playing. And also incase anything happens that’s not rehearsed I can adjust immediately. But I do have the click boosted!

[@SockiSkateboards]

When I drummed I could hear bass, but I also played with no click

[@masonpagano6687]

As a drummer, I need to hear everything w the click being barely loud enough to hear. I taught myself by jamming to songs, so that’s my most comfortable state to play(hearing everything) But when recording, I only play to the click track

[@orangsquid1174]

As a vocalist/guitarist in a modern metal/pop punk band, I tend to have kick and snare loud, click medium, my guitar slightly louder than our other guitarist and the synths, and bass pretty low since I’m usually stood in front of the bass cab anyway, works great for me

[@danielveldman589]

As a drummer, i want mostly vocals and bass, i always leave acoustic guitar low, but i want to heard electric guitar. If i dont heard the instruments, i cant get into the right energy

[@jaredsundberg1081]

Bass player in a pop rock band. Loudest is my vocal, the lead vocal, bass, kick, click, snare, keyboards, tracks, backup vocals, guitars, hat/cymbals, then toms. My mix would probably suck for anyone else to listen to, but it’s what I like and it lets me perform the best I can

[@coldsavagegod7101]

As a keyboardist/piano player, the nehligence to piano is most definitely accurate 😂

[@leewoehlke5099]

You can usually hear more than this, I think yoir memory or 'feel' of the song helps.

[@DrumminBear]

As a drummer I need that Click loud I'll hear the vocals way in the background

[@Spladoinkal]

You hear whatever you ask the soundman for. As a drummer I like a full FOH mix with the click/guide loud enough to cut through everything and be clearly heard. I DON'T need anything related to the drums in my ears because there's plenty of that even with the ears in. If I was going to have anything drum related, I'd have one of those Buttkickers attached to my drum throne and send the kick drum into that so I could feel the kick.

[@Pheminon1]

As a drummer THIS IS SO ACCURATE LOL. I have the click, vocals, bass, and my kick. THAT'S IT Only reason I have the bass is cause I like how it sounds lol Everything else is either muted or REALLY quiet

[@Vihtori_Lettunen]

As a guitarist, I like to hear kick drum, bass and vocals

[@gorkur]

Drummer here! I want everything in this order, from loudest first: bass, vocals, rythm-, lead guitar, snare, bass drum, toms, cymbals. Never been in a band that used clicks live

[@kevinvelasco9740]

Having everything louder than your drums is just stupid man 😭 I get wanting a semblance of music but what is even the point of burying yourself in your own mix

[@gorkur]

@kevinvelasco9740 ah, it might sound stupid but with the monitor slightly amplifying the already loud drum kit I haven't had any problems hearing what I'm doing. I'd probably go with a different mix if I'd use an in ear system though.

[@kevinvelasco9740]

@@gorkur well you should probably specify what you kind of in ear mix you’d want, in a video about in ear mixes… I get what you’re saying now but it’s still a stupid comment. Wedges obviously require a different kind of mix but I don’t think that’s clear what you’re talking about, nor has anything to do with the video

[@jmagoo9772]

The drum beat was giving Hey Song vibes, loved the song

[@Yashybotashy]

As a guitarist I agree!!

[@ARO323]

Accurate. I spent 8 years as a touring bass player. My IEM mix was kick, snare, my bass, my backing vocal and the lead vocal so I could pitch harmonies. Literally only take what you need and trust the FOH engineers are giving the audience a great sound

[@nicciappiah]

Great Video!🔥🥁

[@89gt5.0]

As a drummer I hear the whole band when I’m on stage playing

[@voxac30withstrat]

Go ask Steely Dan or Pink Floyd how they mix. SENSATIONAL. No matter where you walk on stage all the instruments are crystal clear. The original (and BEST) Little River Bands stage mix was unbelievable. These days its all ear plugs but still as good.

[@BrenainnJordan]

as I drummer I like to hear the click, guitar and a bit of vocals, I need to hear the song I'm actually playing!

[@rafaelgonzalez7230]

That bass is tough

[@sky_ox]

MISSIO THE DUO! 🔥

[@jays_wing_plays]

I play drums for a couple country bands. I usually prefer alot of click, no drums (im playing them 🙃), no pedal steel, a very tiny bit of bass, a decent amount of vocals a little less acoustic guitar (the singer uses it), & then a little less for the electric. That way i can still play songs in time while listening for instrumental queues.

[@noahcalland8316]

As a drummer, my mix is basically a full mix, with quite a bit of vocal, and my kick fairly high to keep me tight on the double kick

[@bnchand1]

As a drummer i have had gigs that use a lot of click and then others that were a lot more punky so no click at all, just very loud. When you use the click it is there loud enough to hear but you still get the band as well o/

[@ChristopherBix]

I work small to medium clubs and festivals and as a drummer I love kick and snare very prominent and some vocal. Never use click track. I hear the rest ambiently as speaker cabs are usually near.

[@iamslplss]

I always feel like an enigma in the world of IEM mixes, Im a guitarist and do a gold chunk of the vocaks too, I always prefer for the mix in my ears to sound like the levels out front except my stuff is SLIGHTLY louder, but in general I want a full mix of everything or I struggle to get into the energy of it all

[@CMF9R3MLIN]

Bro that bass sounds like a spyder IV 15 line 6 on the metal channel

[@DripBaconYT]

that bass tone is RUDE oh my god I love it

​@@vilenius187It's easier to play on time with a click that's basically it

[@kiatipotatoeasmr8150]

@@floppa_9530 I wouldn't know since I don't play live shows but it feels to me that when a metronome is present it makes my timing better although again I wouldn't really know

[@mr.anderson6660]

🤘

[@_ch1pset]

I'm not a professional musician but when I played live shows, as a guitarist, my metronome was the drummer and the drummer played at his own pace. We were all at novice/intermediate level, so unfortunately he had a tendency to speed up throughout a song. I think a click is a good crutch if you're trying to refine this skill, but seems like a lot of trouble to set up isolated monitoring tracks like this live.

[@YYIVURecords]

in our band I have nothing except crowd noise in my IEMs and the drummer has mostly BBC Radio 4 because WE KEEP IT REAL

[@jceruiz7144]

As a drummer I’d definitely wanna hear myself but also bass, vocals and some guitar , in that order of volume.

[@bradytaylor3445]

In jazz band, I listened for bass or the lowest instrument unless I was melody and watched the conductor. If he wasn’t there the drums guided the whole thing

[@UNREAL17383]

This is very cool video

[@anabanona506]

I often just have click, kick, and share in ny ears too! Depending on the venue sometimes some bass and vocals

[@Ottophil]

My iem’s are mono only. All i want is me in one ear, and the other guitar in the other ear. can’t wait to upgrade

[@misterLukeG]

My mix is kick and lead vocal loudest. everything else is 15db quieter than those but I have all instruments. I have vocals for reference and section queues in the songs

[@RicardoLopez-vn6cn]

I as a guitarist wanted to hear that drummer nice loud. I'm relying on him to tell me where I'm at in the song

[@pierate9637]

As a bass player definitely acknowledge the issue of not having enough bass in the mix Completely changes how you play

[@tylerlee3439]

I’m sure a click works well with very regimented metal music, but I prefer the band following the drummer for feel and tempo. It feels more organic and human.

[@TrueEriel]

I sing and play bass (rock/metal) and I usually boost all vocals because the frontman and me sing together a lot. Otherwise I enjoy a fairly balanced mix to hear the whole thing and my click is very silent, because I only need it in solo parts ^^"

[@stephentrace4571]

Bass player. Accurate. I need the drums and vocals to make sure I’m on time. :)

THAT BASS TONE THO

[@rioa.s2006]

Aztec death whistle ❤

[@jesser007]

Drummer here. No click, just raw. I gotta feel the vibe..😁🤟

[@Studio42dotCom-Real]

I build each monitor mix to meet the needs of the musicians. I often will build what I think they want, but they'll almost always make corrections, ranging from minor to massive. Bass in-ears is always a pain as those drivers can be a bit lacking sometimes, so sometimes gotta do some magic in the in-ears to make it work for them.

[@noobienormie]

as a bassist all i ever hear is guitar unless i stand right next to the drummer in which case all i hear is my ears ringing the next day

[@alkaliforever9051]

As a guitarist I literally have pretty much just the whole mix with slightly louder guitar and drums.

[@JBZ13]

I had a lot of vocals (mine and singer), a lot of my guitar, a little bit of lead guitar, no bass, a lot of kick drum/snare and a little bit of the overhead mic for cymbals and fills.

[@bobmcfierson2163]

That completely depends on the music you're making and the band and the musicians in the band. Personally I hate click tracks.. quick tracks are only necessary for studio recordings and that's if you're not going and playing any improv and everything is manicured like a studio recording

In todays world they often have cue hints like "Verse in 4 3 2 1" or "Key shifts in 4 3 2 1". Singers sometimes have the first words of the lyrics as reminder on thier in ears.

As a drummer I hear mostly bass then it's guitars and little vocals. Until, eventually it's just the guitars because they keep turning their shit up because they can't hear themselves over the other guitar. Eventually I can't even hear myself playing the drums no matter how hard I beat on them. Then all I hear is ringing in my ears for a day or two. I love playing in a band
