I'm a new subscriber and I'm Harold from Philippines. I'm an electric guitarist in our small church. I always bring my own guitar to our church because we are luck of instruments and things for music. That ear monitoring is a big help not just for myself but to our church

Hello. I stumbled upon your channel only a few weeks ago and I really liked some of your gear videos so I god really interested in your other videos. I am a guitarist from Serbia. I finished high school for music- for guitar and I after that I really started looking for some ideas for my career. I figured out that I'm good at writing poetry and I can spend countless hours composing classical pieces, but I like rock and metal music.. Soo I figured out: ''Hey, why don't I start a rock band?'' So year and a half from that moment I'm currently actively performing with my band, we write our music and we couldn't enjoy more. We're planning our first tour and it's going great. But I really have some problems with performing live, because I'm pretty tall and I really hear badly sound from my amp. I mean that goes so far that there were some gigs where I completely didn't hear myself. I mean I tried lifting the amp up, and that helped but it's really not enough. I also got a processor so I could go directly to the mixer but the sound from monitors on stage is usually crap.. So I figured out that it would be the best for me to get an in-ear system but they're pretty expensive (at least for me) and I also have some investments in my guitar that are more urgent than in-ear... So this in-ear system would probably resurrect me on stage ahahahah.. Either way, I'm continuing with my gigs and I will spare some money for an in-ear in some future. So yea that would be just a peek into my music career bcs I also play double bass, piano and slavic national instrument: tambura. And I'm pretty active in many genres of music (because money hehe is always needed) but I enjoy playing with my band the most! P.S. I hope that you're channel will grow even faster because I really like your covers and gear videos! Peace

[@legacyofsatan]

My name is Dez, I am half Ukrainian and German by origin, but I live in Russia. I have been making music for a long time. It was you who inspired me to start my KZbin channel, where I also make covers and original music, as well as spoken videos in Russian. To be honest, I'm stage fright and love working in the studio. so I don't need this prize. Give it to those who really need it! I would like to try to sing for you with great pleasure, this would be the main prize for me. 😊 I've been following your guitar playing for a long time, ever since you played in Mor Dagor.

[@moit_gabr]

Hey Lykanthrop, I’m Gabriel from Brazil! I am a fellow metal drummer and musician who enjoys your videos a lot. I respect your work very much as a solo artist (with the awesome covers as well) and am really glad to see your career developing with such important bands on the metal scene. Well I don’t have any experience with in ear monitoring whatsoever, I have only played on small venues and it’s really hard to keep up with the band I know. So with the U4 I would be glad to improve my live playing and give the best experience to the audience. That’s it, I hope you read it and that chance finds me worthy to win! I’ll keep watching your videos as always.

[@fleatactical7390]

People like you are the heart and soul of extreme metal today. Thank you for helping keep this thing of ours alive and forging forward with the support, intensity and integrity it deserves.

[@wendellaustria1962]

Thanks for the great review , really helps with my decision . Being a drummer here in Hawaii I already have enough to carry around and these won’t take much space or weight.

[@OCO8654]

Hello! big fan from Costa Rica. I am a singer and guitarrist of a local band called Satanic Slave. I would definitely use this live or even on a rehearsal space since as a vocalist I have to struggle with hearing myself and dealing with feedback. Wish the best luck to everyone!!

[@billyboltz4438]

I love your content and think that it is just very humble that you make these honest gear reviews and giveaways. Keep up the good work 😄 Greetings from Luxembourg!

[@david.danielyan]

Thanks a lot dude. I just really need that system 😭 so if you didn't give already to someone send it to Armenia 🖤🖤

[@cumming_soon]

endlich ein funktionierendes wireless monitoring system gefunden. benutze es für gitarre bei bandproben u der drummer nutzt einen empfänger um die gitarre definierter zu hören. ferner erhoffe ich mir live mit diesem in-ear monitor system unabhängig vom mischer u seinen monitorboxen zu sein. danke für die vorstellung.

[@solhund1]

I'm thinking to have one of these xvive 4 for my band.

[@kathyde9540]

🦙🫎🦙🫎🦙🫎🦙🫎🦙🫎 (Nachdem ich jetzt hoffentlich deine Aufmerksamkeit habe - was eignet sich da besser als Alpakas und Elche:) Ich liebe deinen Content - von deiner Musik, über die Produktvorstellungen bis hin zu deinen Bastel-Arbeiten. Du hast ne tolle Art komplexe Dinge einfach rüber zu bringen, coole Tipps und Tricks den Geldbeutel zu schonen und mit Licht und Atmosphäre in deinen Videos alles perfekt in Szene zu setzen. Ein Talent auf voller Linie. Mein Name ist Kat, ich bin 29 (+X) Jahre alt und Sängerin in einer Hobbyband, würde zu gerne in meiner Band ein InEar-Monitoring etablieren und mich daher über das Give-Away freuen.

[@lucavi964]

I have been following your channel for quite a while now (maybe 6 years) and as a musician, I love the fact that you are able to share informations about the most musical part as well as the more technical side of things. I am evaluating this as a backup to my share psm300 or for maybe future fly in gigs (if there ever will be some). Definitely worth the money. Love your cover and determination as a musician, Keep it up!

[@boristubeti6776]

Is the antenna directional on the unit? I mean if my mixer is pointed against me on the stage, is it better to connect it through an adapter and pint it more toward me or does it not matter because it’s a WIFI signal? Thanks

[@Lykanthrop]

So far I didn't notice any bad signal because of the way it is connected. Most of the times the antenna is not facing me but is rather hidden behind oder gear. Still there were no dropouts or a noticeable shorter range. Personally I wouldn't go through the extra trouble with an adapter.

[@kylemartin6191]

Hey man! Just dropped a subscribe to your channel, I'm a metal guitarist and I'm getting into in ear monitor systems currently and I'm glad I found your video over it. I'm in the Navy in the US and I got love for the Germans, we had a German ship pull into Norfolk, VA. and I went out drinking with some of those guys, and the group of 5 guys I took to the bar managed to rack up a bill of $1000. I've never seen anyone drink that hardcore, and they handled it well man, you couldn't even tell they were smashed lol. Anyhow, thanks for the information, the in ear monitor system stuff can be kind of intimidating when you're getting into it but you broke it down well enough for me to understand. Prost!

[@doomedtobedestroyed]

Ich hatte dich am 6.5.2022 vor der Show mit Agrypnie beim Boarstream in Mulfingen angesprochen, weil ich in deinem Quintessence Cover dabei war und dir ne Karte meiner Band "Lebensstille" gegeben. Zu dieser Zeit war meine Band eine reine Proberaum Band mit wenig Erfahrung. Inzwischen konnten wir 5 Konzerte spielen bei denen ich auf die harte Tour lernen musste, dass jede Venue anders ist und das Monitoring mehr oder weniger immer scheiße ist. Deshalb liebäugel ich gerade tatsächlich mit dem System und umso mehr würde es mich freuen das Teil zu gewinnen.

[@Locrum]

Looking at your videos today, it’s very clear to see the progression in your editing and overall quality. I hope you continue to get joy from what you do, and stay passionate. Cheers from Oregon.

[@SidhuGhising]

I am Church musician from India. I am looking for good in ear system coz my church monitor is pretty bad. So hope one day I can afford these system

[@alex.shadowveil666]

Nices Review! 🤘🏻 Bin auch schon mehrere Jahre auf der Suche nach einem geilen In Ear Monitoring, allerdings war mir dies bis jetzt immer zu teuer 😅 Letztes Jahr bin ich in meine neue Band GOOSEPARTY gekommen und stehen noch komplett am Anfang mit allem. Und da ich von vornherein gesagt habe, wenn wir ein Proberaum etc haben, wäre es geil, wenn wir von Anfang an direkt ein gutes Monitoring fürs proben und später auch für Gigs haben. Deshalb wäre das System definitiv eine Überlegung wert und bevor wir alle uns so ein Gerät zulegen, wäre es definitiv super, wenn man erst mal eins hätte um überhaupt erst mal zu testen ob dieses etwas für uns wäre ^^ Mach weiter so mit deinen Videos 🤘🏻🖤

[@Themoonshineband9034]

Great Video and my Band just started using the system! Had been using Shure and XVive worked perfect with our PA! Would recommend this system to everyone! Lightweight and takes up far less room! Our Band is JR & The Moonshine Band from Phoenix, Arizona!

[@dotto4076]

I've followed your channel quite a while and your gear videos have helped me a lot for choosing gears for my self! Thank you for that and thanks for all those excellent covers!

[@chrisvaelorchaldaios2990]

Great content, great product! It is very important to hear your entire band when performing live!

[@tytooz]

Sæll (which is popular greeting in Icelandic). Just want to let you know, there are lots of great metal bands in Iceland (you're probably aware) but did you know, there's still undiscovered one, that I play guitar at? :) The name of the band is PoczwaR. And we'll never be famous :)

[@glenbowker8259]

Cool. Glen Bowker in a 6 piece considering them for the first time today. Research left me looking at Audiofusion software today. It just makes sense that we would simply use our phones and airpods instead of buying YET another proprietary single purpose gadget to charge. I think that is super cool and possibly the coolest re-use of a phone for yet another app. I wish I had your influence because I would ask them for a copy of that. Great review! And if you do get a copy of Audio fusion, please give me this gadget because I use Android and would love it!

[@kennethdarlington]

Actually I've become interested in IEMs after trying using HB plug thing (with amps, some effects and headphones out) for my guitar. It also has Bluetooth, so I could follow guitar lesson sound with my guitar sound simultaneously! How cool is that?

[@didierno-cil]

Now things may have changed, but 10 years ago my music pals would never play with wireless gear. Roughly for the same reason we don't use wireless PC hardware, wifi and so on if we have a wired alternative. Okay, the wires can be annoying but is this beneficial enough ?

[@thrymthorson2929]

we had a brief chat if it makes sense to only put guitars to inears, on your last video finally we switched to inear monitors for all - your last video gave the final bump we also switched from an old behringer eurodesk analog console to a soundcraft ui24R for cost reasons we started with a cheap wireless system - which was a pain, even the rehersal room having a lot interference in the monitors, and not beeing able to use the third sender at all - hopping through all availble frequency settings didnt help at all at the moment each of us runs a cable based inear system as you said last time: it makes you better as a band instantly, as you can simply hear each other so much better not wanting to advertise the ui24R: but being able to record the rehearshal with no effort to USB and use the recording to adjust your own mix and listen to your mistakes afterwards is also really great (when ur coming from an old analog console and not using monitors at all, or active floor monitors, that is a great boost) so giving XVive a try would be nice ;)

[@Oweinborr]

I have been thinking of this exact in ear system for a year now but havn't bought it yet. I have a cheap T.Bone system that works well but I am not so happy with the sound quality. Just released the 4th album with my black metal band "Ondfodt" and we will start playing shows soon and would ofc be happy with an in ear system with good sound quality and that you can trust enough to play shows with. I love you content and have been following you for many years. You really stepped up the game with your videos in the past 2 years, looks so professional and inspiring the way you film and edit your videos and ofc the playing is getting so damn good. Anyways, I wish you all the best!

[@moit_gabr]

Hey dude! I just listened to your latest work, killer album! Cheers from Brazil.

[@Oweinborr]

@@moit_gabr thank you for the kind words ❤

[@hypedborea]

Hi man! I have been following you for quite some time here, and yeah. Big fan of yours. The covers are always so fucking awesome. Appreciate what you do for the community. Personally i have been busy with starting to learn the drums. My goal is to become a great drummer and trying to start a band. I have some friends who play the guitar and i am sure if i try hard enough i can actually try and get something out of this. I am only 19 so i have a big future ahead of me, but hell yeah i can use a pair of these. Thanks and have a nice day 💪⚡️

[@themusketeer9458]

This system is so old, are there no newer and better systems for the same price in 2024?😁

[@danrevdurado]

My name is Danrev 25 years old I never tried to use ear monitoring system before or even own one. I heard alot of beautiful comments and feed back about it though. I really want to own one if given a chance

Hello Lykanthrop. Im wondering what camera are you using ?

[@Lykanthrop]

Hey Seth! I'm using the Sony a7 IV with a Samyang 35mm f/1.4 for the talking parts, Samyang 24-70mm for the live shots and for the product shots I used a Brightin Star 50mm f/0.95

[@nathanfaure2032]

hi ! thank you so much for doing that kind of give aways ! by the way I've been following your content for a very long time and I always found it inspiring ! I'm coming from France and I happen to play drums in a lot of different situations, from worship bands at church or on tour in big venues, all the way to small underground clubs playing brutal death metal ! in all these situations getting a decent monitoring system is no easy task so I'm trying to be as independant as possible. So that kind of system (which I've had in mind for a while now) might be a huge step up for me !! Thanks again for all your work and all the content you're producing !!

[@bryanmorton5412]

Thanks for the review.....I'm studying various IEM systems and this one keeps getting good reviews. We'll be putting it on the list of systems to explore for sure. Certainly economical. We're a classic rock band, in it's first year, in Savannah, GA.

[@emperium666]

Excellent channel, I'm a big fan of Dissection and I think that you should continue to do some covers from them. BTW Can we get a Thulcandra cover ? keep it trve.

[@hellriegel7]

Hi Lykanthrop, I'm Stefan from Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. I'm a guitar player and I really enjoy your videos (and I don't have any in ear monitoring yet ;)). Right now I had to take a break from playing because I recently had a surgery because of carpal tunnel syndrom. But the doctors say its healing good and I can't wait to come back to my guitar, maybe in one or two weeks. In the meantime your videos among others help me shorten the waiting time ;) I especially love the Dissection covers, very inspiring, and I think I'm going to learn some of their stuff when I can come back to play. Last year the singer of my band emigrated to Romania, so we have had a hard time rehearsing without him. I tried to sing as many of his parts as possible at the rehearsals, but that turned ut to be pretty hard and not always possible. But he comes to visit us in the summer and I hope my hand we be fine by then and that we can have as many rehearsals as possible and just having fun together. I hope you keep entertaining us with your great videos. Thank you and greetings!

[@valentindragan9795]

i've been following you for quite some time; i'm a drummer as well and i've been meaning to start using in ear monitors but they're too expensive for my budget ^^

Hola Felix, no voy a soltar una gran parrafada del motivo que me lleva a participar en este sorteo, hace bastante que te sigo y nunca he podido usar un sistema in-ear, siempre he dependido de los monitores de escenario (y si es que había algún monitor). Sería interesante poder optar por mi propio sistema de monitorización. Un saludo y enhorabuena por el canal y por los ratos que ahora hechas con los auténticos Bathuska ;)

Is it better to have three receivers and three transmitter so each receiver can have all 6 channels to it self?
