What people *think* musicians hear on stage VS what they *actually* hear

[rueme]

So when they say “ WE CANT HEAR, MAKE SOME NOISE!!” they really meant it?

[chickenstrapped]

Really messed with me at my first "big" show. Had no idea if the people were cheering or not and I was super in my head about it 😂😂

[deepshikharairai]

The panic i would get if i miss one tick by a fraction of a second is unaginable😅

[leaphchausew]

That’s when you get quality PA. Most of us mortals play submerged in the mix and hear LOUD NOISES! 😂

[lilbit]

I love these insider videos you do of what's its really like to be a touring artist

[arturlukas]

You can use ambience mics to hear the crowd

[ziggy]

I play very small places with external monitors, I hear more than that. I’ve tried in ear monitors, but I need to hear everything…including the crowd.😁

Next do what amateurs hear(pnly the left kick drum, a really quiet rhythm guitar and the sound of your own heart beat from the rage the sound guy fills you with)

[nicolafiorillo]

when I play live I want to hear the full band at all times

[williamgamez]

as s drummer i never ever use a metronome in a live gig, the tempo is whatever the hell i Say it is xD

[jasonw]

It's relatively quiet, with the speakers pointed away. You can talk to each other in a normal voice in many cases

[jasoncadier]

You can place small diaphragm mics on stage left and stage right to catch the crowd. When I mix monitors I feather them in and then in between songs push the fader a little more so the band hears the crowd. The band can hear whatever they want. It’s totally up to them.

Well the first is what i always have heard for last 30 years from big/small venues to festivals, and loved every minute of it.

We also had a click. It was called ”The drummer” 😂

[allbrightallday]

This broke my heart when I first learned this. To think that my favorite band is jamming so hard to clicks and shit is depressing.

[jasoncoldrey]

Imagine being able to experience that presence on stage. F@#king awesome 😲😲

[thecornerkid]

My church had in ears and my mix was my bass all the way up, drums pretty high, rhythm guitar just loud enough to hear what chord was being played and lead vocal so I could keep up with where we were in the song.

[joelvac]

Thank you for sending this wonderful video !

[subhadeepadhikary]

Wow... that's really wonderful 😲😲

[christinaevans]

Man & musicians still connect with the audience even though hearing at times is limited

[leonsunu]

As someone singing in a choir, i approve of the boosted solo track😂
