[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 213985, member: 67"] You need a monitor to compensate for 2 things: distance (time) and enabling you to hear other instruments or singers to stay together. Speed of sound through air is about 1 millisecond per foot of distance (for our illustration purposes)... so if you're depending on hearing the snare drum to sync up your bass playing... you need to be close to the drummer. If you're 20 feet away and depending hearing the snare to play, EVEN IF YOU COULD INSTANTLY PLUCK YOUR BASS you're starting out behind the drummer. If you get a touch of snare drum in your wedge, it's 5 ms from your ears, not 20 ms. And if you can't hear the lead guitar player on the other side of the stage, you might find it helpful to have a bit of his signal in your wedge. If you sing back up, you'll need a monitor. Now, my last bit of advice - if you can't hear everything in a rehearsal, y'all are playing too loud. Seriously. It's not about how loud a band can play, it's how well. [/QUOTE]
