Is Pee Wee a Schnoodle? He looks like my Dog Benson except Benson is Blond or "Apricot". Great Video! Keep on Rocking in the Free World!....or what's left of it!
Can you make a video in how to have band rehearsal with just your headphones running out your interface and what you should do in your daw to get the best sound
thank you for this nice video! I've got a problem with my Mikrophon for vocals and the PA. there is always the problem with feedback. whether I'm not loud enough or too loud so the pa gets feedback. we prefer to play loud but i always struggle with this. do your got any tips on where to stand or where to place the pa or how to set up the vocals in the mixer? Also I'm singing clean an scream sometimes
I just surfed across this video and it was totally helpful. I'm in a band where we have a tight rehearsal space. We do face one another so we can become one, With that being said, the noise level is way to high, the drummer pounds like he's at Red Rocks, Lead guitarist knows his stuff, complains about how loud everything is, the singer is still looking up the lyrics on the web, and i'm wondering if this band can even play at a friends B-day party. No one wants to take control of rehearsals, (scared of hurting feelings i believe). We run through songs and never really get them tight, My question is: How can I convey to them that I really want this band to work? Without putting any demand out there?
I've been doing this setup for seems like 30yrs and we just realized in the context of live rehearsing with monitors and heafty volume, the value of 'pointing your amp at yourself'. Stop battling to hear your guitar over dual cymbal crashes and bass amps with tweeters pointed in your direction.
Please make a video on recording rehearsals!! I'm thinking of having everything mic'd up, mixer, to recorder(like tascam field recorder). Or mixer to audio interface to daw. I'm having a difficult time finding videos on the best way to go about this. Either way, thank you!
Thanks for the video! I realized we already do most things of the stuff so it was nice to sort of have it "confirmed" :) but, we have problem.. when we practice only using the amps with the vocals out in the power monitors, it's impossible to make every bandmember hear every instrument clearly. It sort of becomes a "soup". It's probably because our rehearsal is too small, I guess.
I rehearse in a small space and we’ve all switched to small amps tipped up or on stands placed close to each performer. I play keys and I switched to small Bose S1 on a stand at ear level just over my shoulder. Drummer is using and electric kit with his own amp over his shoulder. I can hear myself and everyone else perfectly. Small tube amps sound fantastic in a small space without the need to crank it up. If you get the volume down, the mud will go down with it.
@@darrylday30 thanks for sharing your experience :) We have an acoustic drumset. But we actually solved it this weekend by hooking everything up to a mixer and used in ear monitors instead. Well, it's not a beautiful sound but at least easy to hear everything😂 We are thinking of having "coffee sessions" at the drummers apartment where he have his electric drumset, to save money from renting a rehearsal.
What volume do you play at during practice that you need to mic? My band plays really loud (with hear protection of course!) close to 100dB. Should we start micing amps and drums or would the effort not be worth it as we already play loud?
I think it depends what you're working towards. If you're going to play in smaller venues where there's minimal monitoring, I wouldn't bother micing everything... If you're playing live with a full in-ear setup, then I'd almost always practice with in-ears too. I would also tend towards in-ears during composition sessions just 'cause I like to hear everything really well. It's all a matter of context and preference!
Pat Flanigan cool thanks a lot, so I’m in a 5 piece rock band, drums, 2 guitars 1 bass 1 vocals, and we would like to get an in ear monitor system for rehearsing so we can hear the vocals clearer, so firstly we would need to mic everything and then mic cables go into mixing console, then we would mix and into the headphone amplifier. However I am confused by the extension cables going to each member so that they can hear the live mix of us playing, would each member need in ear earphones or could we use headphones which would go into the headphone amplifier
If the drummer is loud then the amps are loud and everything gets blown out -teue “Dynamics” means nothing at jet engine 110Db volume in a small space if head/ear phones are the volume baffles. Most musicians I know are deaf and hate playing w headphones and would rather bitch about sound quality rather than just turn their fucking amps down. Small rooms are a mixing nightmare and I cant see how your tiny space ever gets a balanced sound without earphones (which means your final mix is literally in each of your heads while the room sounds crappy and way too loud).
Can you please make a more in depth video about recording your bands rehearsals please, as of right now I am just recording a voice memo and letting it run lol decent but horrible mix as expected
Would love to, but my studio was demolished and all the rehearsal studios are closed right now because of the COVID-19 situation. But the minute I have access to a studio I’ll make one.
