[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 50894, member: 30"] Re: Difficulty with stage monitoring The only way the guitar amp could be "cancelling" the monitor is if both are reproducing the same signal AND one of them is out of polarity. HOWEVER-if the guitar amp is already to loud-why is it being run through the monitor. ALso the cancellation would be very freq specific and would change with different listening positions. Now if the guitar amp is "washing out" the monitor-then that is a different stroty. He needs to turn down. One of the biggest problems with Church musicians is that they think it is all about THEM. Somehow they cannot play unless it is under their stipulations. They ahve to realize that they are there as PART OF A TEAM in the whole worship experience. The congregation did not come to hear them play-specifically. They have to learn to work with the rest of the musicians and the sound guys to present a good experience to the audience-or else somebody else will be brought in who WILL work with the rest of the team. I cannot tell you how many HUNDREDS of times I have run into this exact same problem. Turn it down-or pack it up and go home. Simple as that. If you can't play quieter (ie get your "tone") then we don't need you. You are obviously to good for that particular venue-so go home and play with yourself. Yes I have told that to quite a few musicians-they didn't like it-but it is the truth-whether they like it or not. [/QUOTE]
