I always appreciate when Sweetwater does videos like this. I am a local musician and music producer near Indianapolis and have years of experience with this kind of thing, but for those just starting out or those without much experience, these are great learning tools to get going! Thanks for these informative videos and please keep them coming so that music can live on!

Seeing the visual description on how to use the aux knobs, left to right for mixes, and the channel strips, that alone was priceless.

I've always wondered if Mitch sounds like this in every day conversation! Thanks a bunch for the info! Got a band and a budget PA and this was good to know.

Thanks Mitch! All the gigs I’ve done, we’ve always played clubs with sound systems so I’ve never had to deal with this. It’s good to know for the future just in case.

I used stage monitors for the first time last Saturday because I’m just in a highschool cover band, and it was awesome. However, the sound guy didn’t have any instruments in it, but it was nice to be able to hear the vocals more easily.

The eq placed after the aux send and before you power amp to monitor is very useful. Can really help control feedback and shape your sound for an excellent monitor mix.

Little addendum for all performers that are instrumentalists and vocalists at the same time: To sing in tune or to be able to follow someone else to sing harmony, you need to hear the vocals in your monitors well. So the overall „daisy chained“ mix isn‘t what you‘ll want. For a four piece band you‘ll probably want 4 monitors (or in ear systems) and a mixer with 4 auxes. And today it is well worth looking at digital mixers that are remotely controlled by laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. With the latter and individual monitors each artist can adjust his vocal volume with his or her phone with the flick of a finger. Soundcraft for instance calls this feature „MoreMe“. 😊
