[QUOTE="Tom Manchester, post: 56507, member: 82"] Re: Earplugs and loud bands I Had a walk on monitor mixing gig this past weekend and the drummer was from a well known 70's rock group. He was wearing foam 30db ear plugs and said he could literally not hear ANYTHING in his monitors even though the mix was pretty much maxed out on the meters. After a painfully long soundcheck (just him, the other band members were perfectly happy with their mixes), the FOH guy and I laboriously gated and EQ'd and shifted the wedges around until we got it relatively stable and loud. Show went on fine and everyone was happy with their mix. I think it would have gone way easier if he was on IEM's or pulled the plugs out! [/QUOTE]
