[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 139182, member: 32"] Re: Help me understand....(IEM's) Are you doing a stereo or mono mix? If it's mono, there's a pretty solid chance that other sources are stepping on the artist's vocals. If it's stereo, do you have other sources panned out and the vocals running right up the middle? How are you monitoring that artist's mix? Similar earbuds through another pack, hard-wired headphones, what? What do you hear? As other people have mentioned, it could be a digital console routing (delay) issue, it could be the pack limiter, or it could be a deaf artist. I've had artists that weren't happy until they heard the system clip on the front end. Also, did you ask the artist why they aren't bothering to turn their pack up? If you get the response "Because then it will be too loud" - DANGER. You need to have a discussion with them about the mix balance and gain structure - in layman's terms, of course. [/QUOTE]
