My band sucks. We play shows that suck, with sound guys that have not much passion for what they do.
I can never hear my guitar, or singing when we play, which makes the suck even worse. So, here's my minimalist solution. What are the pitfalls, if any that you see with this type of rig. I'm the guitarist / vocalist. I can't stand dealing with equipment, and my bass player came up with this idea. I already owned the mixer, never thought of using it in a live situation for monitoring, but it seemed like a good idea, so this is what we came up with.
I'm still trying to figure out what stereo IEM is. Something to do with linking auxes. I have no idea what that means. Everyone seems to know what it is, but can't tell me how to do it. Is this some kind of black magic, that is only shared with inner circles? Right now aux 1 goes to the L of the sennhauser IEM transmitter and aux 2 goes to the R. I know this isn't true stereo.
So I'm wondering what you think of this setup and if my Mackie DL 1608 can even do this linking of the auxes for stereo IEM mixing, if I'm saying that correctly?
Thanks
