@darrylday30 Год назад

Thanks for you help. I’ve used your advice for years but things have changed. I used to play gigs with the same band and the same pa. Easy peasy. Now, I play festival stuff with a 10 min setup between bands! Plugging in a 16 channel splitter box is NOT an option. I’d love to just mix my own mix on my tablet but it never works out. Lost wifi password is the most common excuse but really the lack of time is the issue. Sooooo, here’s the plan: 1) Velcro a Rolls PM 351 Personal Monitor System to my keyboard, 2) Vocal Mic and keys into the Rolls PM351 and thru to the PA, 3) Split off the stage wedge monitor line and plug it into the Rolls Monitor LINE IN, 4) Ask sound guy to copy and paste the main mix to my wedge, and 5) mix a combo of MIC, INST, and MONITOR on the Rolls to my IEMs If I can’t tap into the monitor mix my back up plan is to run a LINE OUT from my Zoom recorder into the LINE IN on the Rolls and point the Zoom in the least offensive sounding direction. Splitting off the monitor line is probably going to sound the best but I’m not sure what gear I would need depending on whether I’m dealing with powered, unpowered, bi amped and the varied connectors involved. Suggestions would be appreciated.

@ScottUhlMusic Год назад

Man, the number of times I’ve updated my IEM setup to fit my needs. Haha, I couldn’t even count. It really all depends on what you are trying to do, accepting that it will never be perfect, and communicate with sound guys ahead of time. That’s the best advice I’ve found

@eddieeagle2364 9 месяцев назад

Hi Scott. I just wanted to tell you thanks so much for your informative videos, as ive used as bunch of your videos to set up my IEM system, with a Behringer XR12 second hand with 4 outputs as per your video on how to do that, with all the band with wired P2’s, with your recommended CCA C12 earphones. My band mates are so stoked with how it sounds, with the defining point for me being able to hear the little bass licks my bassist puts into the verses, that ive never heard before! Rather than a splitter snake we are using DI boxes on the end of all the gat pedalboards, and individual XLR splitter cables on all the mics as that was significantly cheaper. For all the watchers out there this is legit and a game changing way to set up your band. All up, to buy all the cables to connect the band, the XR12 second hand it cost 600 NZD. Each band member brought their own Behringer P2 and earphones. We used cable crap to wrap an IEM cable and the DI cable together, so that their is still only one cable from the mixer to your pedalboard, then the same for the cable to your guitar/P2. Highly recommend you do this as well!

@ortegaman Год назад

Hello, Everyone. 👋 New subscriber here, just want to thank for this guide as I found it very informative and well explained, like other videos in this channel. One aspect to point out is the benefits of using a splitter to separate the signal and have total control in your own mixer, so this should be a standard for bands of any kind, some performers just bring their instruments and no more personal gear, based on my experience there’s still some people that are used to just step in stage without any kind of extra equipment and just hope for the best, I know is not easy to invest in a separate mixer for monitoring specially if you play in different venues, like private events, small spaces or even on places that doesn’t have any kind of PA. In other hand personal monitoring can be done without the need of a splitter, it’s just a ideal scenario where the band affords to have a separate mixer just for monitors, but if you don’t have a splitter it can be done just fine if the band knows how to use their phone/tablet apps and let the sound engineer control the main mix to the PA.

@christopherheadcase6886 Год назад

This is an amazingly indepth video.. that helps so many get I to in ear monitoring. I had a similar set up with splitters and snakes and surprisingly every place we play the sound guy looks confused when we hand him a bunch of tails... "But I already have all my cables run" is usually the comment.. like disconnecting and reconnecting will ruin his life.. So we use radial cat5 junctions for our vocals and instruments. (We use modelers and not real amps but this will still work just the same) our cables go in and we plug in their lines out the back so we get our signal to our IEM and they get a direct signal for FOH now drums we normally are in smaller clubs so we can hear them just fine but we do use an xlr y cable to split the kick mic and a proximity mic under the drummer to capture everything else. But I also use those patch pays at the back to bring the main L&R to the edge so I'm not poking around trying to plug in cables. Great video

@ScottUhlMusic Год назад

Thanks! And yeah, some sound guys are dicks about it for sure. I always let them know ahead of time. I’ve heard the “I’ve already ran my cables” line before too lol. Always from a grumpy sound guy

Wow. Great series. This IEM series was so helpful. IEM ADVICE NEEDED: Band has been using IEMs for about a few months with our XR16 but our bass player hated them. He wants to use a wedge on stage. The rest of us want to continue to use IEMs. 1) What pitfalls (if any) will we encounter using a hybrid of wedges and IEMs as monitors? 2) What adjustments should we make on stage and in the Xair app to adjust for the addition of a wedge to our set up? Thanks. I want our bass player to hear what he wants and how he wants, I just don’t want to compromise those of us still using IEMs.

@ScottUhlMusic 2 года назад

Yeah, there is always SOMEONE in the band haha. It’s a pain, and I prefer in ears for sure. You can always use a wedge if you want, just realize it’s more likely to get feedback. That’s just something you’ll have to accept. If he just wants to hear his bass, try using inears but also having his amp loud on stage behind him. That might make him happy for a compromise. In ears also take a few shows to get used to. Or he also might have ones that are way too cheap and do not sound good. They are all possibilities

Hey Scott great video. Can you link the cable you used for HX Stomp to the splitter? Thanks

@ScottUhlMusic 7 месяцев назад

Link the cable? I’m sure I understand what you mean

@Jazzmasterer Месяц назад

The most common method for these stompboxes is a quarter-inch cable from the stompbox into a DI box, then an XLR cable from the DI Box to the mixer (or splitter in your case). If the pedal has an XLR output, you can skip the DI box and go straight from the stompbox to the splitter.

@TedGravlin 3 года назад

Great video Scott. Couple extra tips gained from experience... 1) use a label maker to label each of the inputs on the snake box and the plugs on the FOH end of the split snake with the name of what’s plugged into that channel. This makes it WAY quicker for the FOH sound guy to connect to his system. He shouldn’t necessarily be matching up the channel numbers. Instead he’s matching the vocal or guitar to the channel he uses for that in his system that might be a different number than the channel number that the bands mixer uses. I’ve had it happen too often that the band uses channel 1 for vocals and the FOH guy uses his channel one for kick drum. The stage hand matched up the numbers (instead of the names) and the vocals are coming through the FOH kick drum channel. Oops. Also consider calling things by generic names when labeling. “Center vocal” instead of “Steve vocal”. The sound guy doesn’t always know the guys names but he does know who’s standing center stage. 2) another good choice for digital mixers is the somewhat older school digital mixers with actual moving faders. Examples are Yamaha O1V96 or the Behringer X32 (there are versions that fit a slant top rack). Advantages are that you don’t need to mess with WiFi and possible interference. Also some of these can be picked up used these days really cheap. Disadvantage is that to adjust you need to walk over and push the faders around since you’re not using the phone or iPad apps. (Put it in a slant top rack placed in the Backline on the stage by the guitar amps or drums ... it’s now similar to adjusting a guitar amp.) Get out the label maker and label the aux buttons with the band members name. When Steve wants to change his mix he needs to make sure the aux button with his name is lit up first. If not, push it so It lights up. The faders snap to his settings and he can move them around.

@ScottUhlMusic 3 года назад

Great advice for sure! And yeah I should have said use a label maker and label the NAMES of the cables... like "cable 1 - Kick" "cable 2 - Snare" etc. Thanks for sharing, great advice!

@chucksaeger7500 9 месяцев назад

@aamirsy 3 месяца назад

@ScottUhlMusic amazing video. Maybe a dumb few questions here but: 1) Do you ever receive any resistance from sound engineers having to re-patch everything when using a splitter? 2) My band plays small club shows. What if instead of using a splitter we used Y-splitters for the vocal mic's and cabinet mic's, and just left the drums alone and relied on ambient drum sound? Sorry if this comes across as naive, as I'm new to all of this!

@ScottUhlMusic 3 месяца назад

You can get resistance from grumpy sound guys with anything haha, that’s all a part of sometimes. Just be sure to tell them ahead of time so they aren’t surprised when you get there for load in. Y cables can work but they won’t be as easy as with a splitter. With the split, everything is in one location and it makes it much much easier and cleaner to do the split. Y cables sometimes can get cross talk as well

Thanks for a very instructional video - one question. My band only has the X32 Rack and no splitter - we'll run our sound from the X32 as well as the monitors (some people have IEM's and others will still have to use a floor wedge). Can we still mix our own IEM's?

@ScottUhlMusic 2 года назад

Yup absolutely. You only need the splitter if you are sending the signal to FOH for another guy to mix the audio. If you guys do that yourself, you do not need the splitter at all

Hi Scott, Wonderful video, I do have a question however. I have gone ahead and purchased the componants. But they didnt have any splitter snakes available so I have purchased a Behringer SD8, i thought perhaps the digital signal through the single Cat5 to the x32 digital mixer and then the physical XLR outputs to the FOH could be an advantage. Have you got any experience with this? Would it work or would they not be split signals?

@ScottUhlMusic Год назад

Hey man, I wish something would work like that. I personally don’t think it would. Although I guess it depends on how many inputs/outputs you have. You could send out the outputs and the aux outs if that worked for your setup, but that’s very limited and it means it still goes into your mixer. Usually the FOH wants a dry split, so it doesn’t touch your rack at all

So I wanted to ask you if we all had DIs/splitters individually, as well as modelers like for guitar/bass etc, could we just run our mix as a group on stage, and FOH use their normal lines like if we didn't have an IEMs at all? Some of our gigs have very limited PAs and we have DIs possible from bass, gtrs, and snare/triggers from the drums. Could we just split individually like normal to the FOH and do our own thing? Or is that not recommended? Very informative and great video that made me understand a lot of things

Out of curiosity, if you want to run a stereo mix to your wireless monitor system, I’m using the Sennheiser G4 and the X32 rack, do you have to run to XLR cables out of the X32 and into the G4?

Hi all! I recently found this channel and it has been a lifesaver as my band looks to upgrade our IEM rig. We're looking at the X32 Rack, and I'm having difficulty figuring out if it will meet our specific needs. We're a 5-piece that runs separate wired stereo IEM mixes, so 10 total outputs needed (with our current setup, two of us have to share a mix). Additionally, we prefer to reserve two XLR outs to feed wedges in our practice space. Can we use three pairs of XLR outs and two pairs of Aux outs on the X32 for our IEM? I've downloaded the X32 Edit software and am trying to familiarize myself with how the routing for that could work (if it can work at all).

Hi Scott, do you have any issues/solution with mic-bleed and In Ears? I m a Singer in a Metalband and I can hear the cymbals of the drums basically anytime. I use just my microphone Shure SM58 and 2 guitars (D.I.) and the click in my mix (Behringer XR18). It's still way too loud for me because of the cymbals.

He didn't want me posting videos that "give away the secrets" of how the show works. What do you suggest I do so I can send an audio source to my camera that doesn't have the click and guide? I use a 12 channel mixer and have the monitor in channel one and go out of the mains into the camera. I don't have separate auxes on the mixer. There's an FX send but it only goes mono which would make my videos sound funny having only the left channel producing sound.

@@DavidMacVicar There's a difference between the sound guy CAN'T work with your splitter and when the sound guy simply doesn't want to because he's a crusty old grumpy dude. Thats where your skills as a diplomat come in. As Scott says, Make it super easy. Send a stage plot with an input list ahead of time. Make sure the stage plot is clear that your bringing your own self contained IEM rig and you'll be giving them a labeled snake tail. If he can plug in cables, He can plug in the cables from your snake tail instead. There shouldn't be any systems out there that can't accept your XLR connectors from the snake tail. Especially if you've brought ALL of your own drum mics, direct boxes and other needed gear, you make his life WAY easier. Assuming that your mics aren't junk quality. Try to bring good stuff that they shouldn't be able to complain about. That cheap Radio Shack mic from 1978 probably won't sound great on your Kick Drum. Why would a sound guy complain that he only needs to plug in a well labeled snake tail? ... Since the band already plugged everything else in otherwise. Trick for quick changeovers in a festival situation. Sound guys usually LOVE THIS. They usually have a set of drum mics set up for all the bands to use. It takes time to move the stands around or attach the clip to the drum rims during the changeover. So... When you set up your drum kit offstage while the previous band is playing, Pre-attach YOUR drum mics using the clips that go onto the drum rims. No drum mic stands needed. (we even used a clamp with a gooseneck to attach the hi hat mic pointing up from below the hi hat) Pre-attach cables and leave them coiled up around the mics. During changeover, when you plop the drums onto the stage, it takes 3 seconds to grab the cables and plug in the other end into your snake box. Then you probably only have about 3-4 other cables that need to be run to your snake box from the vocals and guitars. The sound check is now just a line check to see that something didn't get forgotten to be plugged in. The mix is probably REALLY close in the monitors. You won't need to play 3 songs and keep asking the sound guy to fix monitor mixes for 5 guys in front of 3000 people. He just mixes the band and half a song in it sounds great out front.
