[QUOTE="John B. Miller, post: 40229, member: 1031"] Re: Creating a better money channel in IEM land I've been a singer [I]and[/I] a sound company owner for over 20 years. The very first digital desk that I bought was an 01v, and the very first time I heard the digital "thing" in the IEMs was the very first gig at which my band used the 01v. I instantly heard the phase/latency effect on my voice, and it was very distressing and distracting. Once I figured out what was causing it, I did what the OP is talking about and split my vocal mic into a small analog mixer, and simply had my monitor mix (with the rest of the stuff in it minus my vocal) returned to another channel of my analog mixer. The analog mixer's headphone amp serves to drive my IEMs. Problem solved. I also share Art's frustration when recording to a DAW where the monitor mix goes through an AD/DA conversion before I hear it back in the phones.
