[QUOTE="Christian Tepfer, post: 139190, member: 108"] Re: Help me understand....(IEM's) I try to avoid this situation doing the following: - beltpack limiters off, check earbuds (level, tonal balance, are they clean?) - start the soundcheck with the "me" signal (voice or whatever is most prominent in the given IEM mix) - put the signal in the mix at nominal level, driving the mix a certain amount before clipping the transmitter (depends on the transmitter system and the anticipated depth of the final mix) - tell the artist to turn up his beltpack volume until he/she feels the "me" signal is fine. - make sure that the beltpack level is not "10" at this time, because we like to have some headroom. If it is, take a closer look to the earbuds. - aim for a priority of "me", putting other elements into the mix. Trying to get feedback for the other elements, leaving "me" fixed, level of the "me" signal is still controlled by the beltpack volume. - only during the show "me" signal can be raised in the mix. Obviously this method doesn't work well with all artists, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
