Re: Artist controlled iPod/iPad controlled monitorsI think the iPad controlled personal monitor mix question is a fun one to talk about. I'm the author of that post in question also. You are all absolutly right that it's a bad idea (most of the time, there are always exceptions) to give wedge mix control to the band. But I'm talking about IEM mix control. That's where a better controlled system could really shine. Whenever I've given IEM mix control to the band, the soundcheck time seems to only take 1/4 of the time or less.. It's like parallel processing or something for computers... The idea is to provide an easy way to quick change the performers mix by themselves, so they don't have to bug the monitor guy or FOH guy... It's also a question to explore on the best sounding method and most flexible way to get that accomplished...
