FIRST TIME TRYING IPHONE IN-EAR MONITORS WITH A LIVE BAND 

I'm a stone cold unbeliever; however, I have to thank you for your videos. The RU-vid "faith-tech" community's generosity has made it possible for me to figure out multiple audio tracks in Abelton Live and a lot of midi control nonsense for the tribute bands I'm in. It doesn't make me any more religious, but I have a warm place in my heathen heart for the tech staff at churches. Thanks Again!!

Really excited to hear that this worked well for you! Thanks for not only being a guinea pig for your team but for other worship leaders out there!

Thanks Jake for the update! I’m definitely going to be recommending this to my Pastor and sound team. Excited to try this! God Bless!

I would smash the like button multiple times if I could, this is amazing and you did a great job on both of these videos! Thank you!!

Thanks Jake on the strength of your video we are going to give this system a shot... God Bless

This is really exciting! I'm glad the test went this well. Thank you for teaching us all you know. Bless you!

Great Video ! I would love to see you post more of you worshiping at your church. It helps with seeing everything you show us put into action. You are one of my favorite RU-vidrs

Keep up these amazing videos brotha

I enjoyed watching your video bro! Hugs and blessings from Chile!

Thank you very much! This is very helpful, we’ve been looking for a wireless solution to in ear monitoring.

please keep us updated on this, this is amazing

Thanks for demoing this. I ha r been looking at this option but haven’t pulled the trigger yet!

It was really great to see you and your team in your space leading worship too! I've been curious over the last couple months. "What does Jake's worship team sound and look like?" haha! This was awesome!

Excellent follow up to your previous test video. I’m a skeptic however your experience is moving me to become a believer. We have android users in the band so I’m early interested that there may be a application for these users somewhere on the horizon. Keep making videos. What makes them different is your honesty. Well done and thanks for spending the time so we don’t have to. Cheers

THANKS Jake, Thanks Jesus ! GOD bless you !

I would love to hear a follow up on how his is going for you so far

Thats great... awesome video

Nice info 💪🏽🙏🏽

Nuff respect!! ✊ that you used your own time and $$ to make an honest review

Well done jake!!!! Thanks a lot!! How do you route or make sure that you can hear effect, I’m on try mode and I can’t seem to figure it out.

this is awesome. this is waht I was always dreaming monitoring system. thank you for the videos. I'm really excited now. but one thing is that I still worried about latency. I JUST WANNA TRY THIS!!

Great video showcasing an exciting way to get into wireless monitoring. My only downside is when you go to adjust your mix it just looks like your on your phone checking a text or something. The visual just isn’t great. But great video!

Awesome, i remember seeing a similar approach a few years ago, but it was really early stage, this looks more stable, we currently use the X32 mixer with P1 wired Amps, but our WL didn't feel confortable with the hanging cable. I'll propose this, thanks for the info!

@Jake do you still recommend this as an in-ear monitor solution? Wanted to know your thoughts after you had more band members use it.

Great video Jack, super usefull, Does the company had told you how much time it's gonna be for the app to be able at Android devices? Greetings from Argentina

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the updates with us! What is the distance between router and you on stage?

With it coming over wi-fi, I wouldn't expect there to be latency, as long as there's enough bandwidth in the wi-fi to handle all of the devices. There should probably be a separate wi-fi router for AV than for everything else or you could have so many devices connected to the network that it couldn't keep up.

Looking forward to see the demo of streaming to 16 musicians which definitely will put huge pressure to the app and router. If it works well, it's really worth looking into it.

Hey Jake this is really cool it's hard to believe that it's actually reality now to use your phone as a mixer for in ears wirelessly on a side-note do you know if Loop Community for Prime app is down we have not been able to reach them for a few days now just curious thanks for any info you can help us with.

Can you do a video on the best universal in ear monitors for under $100?

Hi Jake, Love the new technology! Keep us updated on this! I've got a quick question. Do you use mic's to mic the crowd to mix in the in-ear mix? And if yes, what kind of mic's do you use for this? I couldn't find them in the ministry toolkit. Hope you can help!

This program seems great for studio sessions or just playing at home without having to be stuck to your laptop with headphones.

I’m hoping to get a quick response from you. We just got 3 performers up and running for a test run of this system. I am wondering if you first noticed that the quality of sound was a little more “digitized” than normally used to. That’s the best way I can explain my result so far. It almost sounds like a doubler effect is on each channel through this IEM system. What has been your experience so far? Otherwise, we love it. We even set up a room mic and the ambience gives so much more feel back to the IEMs.

Quick question do you need an actual digital mixer to make this thing work? or you'll be good just a phone and in-ear monitor? thanks in advance.

I think it would be good to have feedback from you when you try connecting more people to the network used for this inear monitoring

What you should do in order to lessen signal dropout is to use a better access point for your router because normally the antennas in those routers even in the high end ones are not fully capable of streaming to multiple clients with QoS and low dropouts therefore for a whole setup with a band you should have a separate router with QoS capability. In my case i have a ubiquiti edge router that assigns the ip address to the iphones and manages them quickly enough but doesnt waste its cpu resources in wireless processing as that is handled by a separate wireless acces point (ubiquiti AP pro nano) that runs multiple clients and at a much higher bandwidth(1300mps) this allows for a) being able to have the router in one location with multiple Access points deployed on stage so there is no dead zones or weak signal areas that a traditional router may encounter and then b) I am able to hang those access points on stands minimizing 5ghz dropouts that are caused by simply blocking the device from the routers antenna as 5ghz signal is much more faster but easier to disrupt than traditional 2.4ghz which is slower but can bounce and travel around walls, objects, humans, etc. To put it simply a traditional router from best buy does the roles that a network has 1)routing 2) ethernet switching 3)wireless accespoint and while it does a good enough job it is not a master at any of them. I can say that for a full band setup in the future you should use a dedicated router and dedicated acces points to have the best wireless coverage and signal the only limitation/ bottleneck here would be the iphones antenna and sorry for the long comment but i am a sound guy and a network nerd and just wanted to give my idea that works with my band to help out others too.

Out of curiosity, do you have floor wedges also? If not, what do the musicians use when they don’t use the audio fusion stuff? Wired?

Quick question. How did you capture the audio from your mix? Where you able to record using an iOS based audio recorder or something like that? I’m asking because I’m curious if the iOS based mixer could be used to create a mix for something like iOS based live stream using this tech

Would love to hear your thoughts now that it has been 2 months

How far was the router from the stage? I imagine that makes a difference.

Hi... you still use this system? Did you agree other person to the monitoring system? It works ok? If it does it would be great to heard again with more people.. Im thinking to implement this Soundcaster to my church.. thanks

Awesome man !! I just ordered the same router to try in our youth services. Couple quick questions which iPhone where using? Also noticed in your tracks left and tracks right the left was pretty heavy. Did you pan each track respectively? Sure would be nice to see stereo linking in future updates. Is that a Shure sm7B ?

I have a situation when one church building gathering different church groups and they all use the same sound system. My mixer is Presonus StudioLive 32 digital. My question is; can I use AudioFussen purchase line for deferent church group worship team, or they all need to purchase separately which will cost a lot of money. Let's say if I have 10 in-ear purchased can all church groups use that in different iPhones?

Thanks for all the great information and inputs. Just for curiosity have you tried using this setup with bluetooth earbud or earphone, just to be completely cable free. Let me know if you have.

Hey Jake, at 4:40 it looks like you are checking your phone for messages :) I wonder if anybody in your Church noticed?

I've been creepin' on your channel for a while, Jake. Gotta say, you do a great job keeping me abreast of the latest tech. Hope to see this tech mature across Android and iOS... I'm sure it will. Curious: can you send music from your phone into the board using this app? I use the Worshiptutorials pads and neutron (thanks for those vids BTW) when we play and I'm curious if this eliminate the cable from phone to mixer.

If you have in ear headphones can you use a dongle to convert to the iPhone input? Would it still sound good?

Hi Jake Thanks for all the great work you are doing. This looks like a great idea to expand our monitor system. We are using the Yamaha TF5 console and are using all it outputs already between monitor mixes, parents room and an induction loop. Do you have any idea how to set up the Audifusion with the Yamaha? Especially grouping channels together like you did with your drum channels. If you know or hear of anybody using a Yamaha digital mixer I would love to speak to them about this.

Do you still use audio fusion? Or have you found anything better in five years?

Cound/nt you just connect your iphone directly to your digital sounddesk wifi connection while using the performer app?..

We have a sound craft digital board that we can adjust our iem's from iPads and iPhones and android stuff, would be cool if they could add the sound capability to it like that...we're going to have to replace all of our iem's because of the change in useable frequencies...

I want to buy the software audiofusionsystems, I can use Director or not., My trial version cannot control each input channel separately, Looking forward to support

I have a question would this setup work with airpods ? And or there is a delay in audio not recomemded for live performance .

With low’ish cost, minimal cabling, and your willingness to be a crash test dummy, this is the in-ear option I’m trying out. Got the crazy space ship router on refurb (Lord, please let it be healthy), buuut I got a i7 Mac Pro Mid 2012 w/ Qu-32, I’ll see if it works for us! Thanks for the post!

Cómo lo puedo comprar en México? Pon el link por favor

Hey! is there any update on this system? is it still working for you?

Jake have you tried singing and or talking in to your mic while the channel is soloed? I just cant get the Latency low enough. In the mix its not as noticeable but when by itself it sounds as if there is a chorus Effect put on my voice and I am not sure what or how to combat that. In the mix with Ableton running it was not noticeable but when soloed by itself it shows up , Sound is so clean and really want to move forward with it just not sure about the Latency issues.

Would it be possible to use airpod pros you think?

Sort of unrelated, but I dig the new sm7b. I could hear the “smoothness” created by the mic. Yes. I’m a mic nerd.

Thanks. Was the mac you ran this on running anything else for the service in addition?

Does the app make "snapshots" possible? As in, can you save mixes for different songs and such?

Could you play a backing track with vocals in the ear monitors?

Hi Jake, nice test you've done here. I'm really curious to see how it will behave when more clients will be connected to your dedicated WiFi. I'm just into IEM (I mean real ones, not a headset like I used before) since a few weeks, and this solution will be nice on other platforms. Crash test dummy 😂 (for the glory of God 😇)

Hi. Thanks for the video. What app are you using and do we have similar app for Android user?

So did you ever implement this in your church ? We tried it in our youth building but felt it was not yet ready for prime time , The latency was the biggest isssue along with drop outs. Just wondering if it was more successful for your team ?

Just answer this question. What is the latency Delay with this system?

To the latency topic: You can't notice the latency, if you only listen to the signals coming from the same (maybe delayed) source... You should compare the signal of the iPhone to the signal from your bodypack to see, if there is any latency

Hey Jake, so i’m a worship leader at a small church as well and our worship team is trying to become more organized so i was wondering if you could do a video and scheduling worship sets, i’ve heard some people use the Planning Center app but it’s kind of confusing for me, thanks if you do a video on this it would help so much

FYI: still watching but I love this song 5:00

Unfortunately my church isn’t willing to spend the money it would take to have this. We have 5 band members. And in order to get them all a signal (if I read correctly) it would cost me $499.00 to send each of them signals from the soundcaster app on my MacBook Pro. And I still have to purchase the interface and router. Am I correct?

My church is using the same setup. Everything works very well in practice sessions but we always experience short drop out and whenever the real worship session starts as the hall is filled with members. Not sure how to solve this issue. The modem is already placed at the ceiling right above the centre of the stage

You have us in suspense man. I asked for a follow up 2 months ago and again 6 days ago with no response. Would love to hear your thoughts

thanks for making these videos brother. i noticed one "problem" with using this system. Every time a musician adjusts anything on the performer app app during worship, they would look a little inappropriate, like they're checking their text messages or updating their facebook during worship.

Do you think this system would hold up with an average sized band, probably 5-7 while also using the same router to run pro remote and the stage display app on a few devices?

Hey Jake thanks for the review. I did some beta testing with this but didn't have a ton of time to troubleshoot with the way our current church is setup. Are you also recording your service to a DAW while running this? I am using an XR-18 but I record the service as well and was seeing if you are doing something similar and if it was working alright for you.

We tried this a few months ago - but when we were using it we were getting latency issues. Was there any delay in sound for you? It was under a second of latency but it was just enough that it could cause timing issues.

Are you still using the AudioFusionSystems stuff? Is the rest of the band on it yet?

I have never used IEM, because of the pricing, but that guide track sounds so distracting to me...does it take some time getting use to?

What camera and lens dis you use for recording this video? Is it full frame?

Really cool system!!! Omg why is your click track so loud tho

Are you still running this rig? Still working without issues? I'm currently trying to decide between this and traditional in-ears for my church.

How is this system holding up after a few months of use? Are more band members using it?

I remember introducing some new vocalists to our in-ear packs, and showing the Presonus phone app that controls what gets sent to that pack. Then the following week, they say it’s not working.. only to find they’ve skipped the pack and tried to plug into their phone.. I think this solution is what a lot of churches are looking for.

Question? Where do you recommend I place the WiFi router? I am like 50 feet away from the stage, which I can install up high above the people. Please advise.

Great job showing how this CAN work in a REAL setting. So Good Jake! My question : How are you using WiFi in a mobile set up? Are you logged into the venues main line? Thanks for the help and continuing to equip us. You rock!

What is the cost of soundcaster per musician? In other words, how many musicians can have in-ears? thanks

What are your IEMs?

So glad it worked man!!! How did you get rid of those pops and drops? We are still having issues with it.

Can you add reverb

is there detectable latency?

Mine works 95% of the time but then randomly glitches and skips for 3-4 seconds and I cannot figure out for the life of me why. It makes it unusable live for us. Do you have any suggestions?

Few month has past i wonder how is going ? do u still use it? do you find it worthy?

Once you get used to hearing a click track, it becomes like another instrument in the band. The end result is a super tight performance.

LATENCY?

Ah, yes, the never-ending set-up-tear-down for Sunday morning service. It's a love/hate relationship.

does it work with an analog board?

What are your card out setting on the M32?

How was battery life using it?

what church are you apart of?

Wish this was on android 😪
