Members ATOMICDOG1 Posted January 23, 2004 Members Share Posted January 23, 2004 In wedges, its usually a bad idea, you get a lot more problems with feedback. In IEM systems, its a choice thing, a lot of people like to have a bit of verb on their in ear mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an effect that makes the vocals sound totally dry? Why would you want them in the monitors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ezstep Posted January 23, 2004 Members Share Posted January 23, 2004 We use four wedges (sometimes six on large stages) and never run fx into the monitors. It really multiplies the chances of feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MDLMUSIC Posted January 24, 2004 Members Share Posted January 24, 2004 As a vocalist, I want the monitor send to be totally dry. Reverb, echo, delay, etc. makes it harder to hear each individual part. In fact, the whole purpose of most effects is to smooth out the individual voices and blend them together. While this is definitely advantageous for FOH, it's the opposite of what I need in the monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
