Thanx for your suggestions. And you have some realy good ideas about how to pan instruments as they appears on stage.. I had no idea but it seems to be very logic right now. It seems to be many hours of trying different settings before it works. But now it would be easyer to find a final solution. The mixer seems to be it. I think we have somthing like that in our rig but ive ever tried it. Now i have to check it out. This will help me alot guys.. just what i needed. im so glad =) George "G" Hi Mitch!

We use HEAR Technologies mixers satallite mixers. you get 8 channels to put whatever you need in you mix, then you get to mix yourself. It's a very cool rig and allows you to control your mix totally. Back to the mix, I put the lead vocals centered, I'm a background singer so I pan the other background singer to center right, and I go center left with both of us louder than the lead vocals. Then whatever I'm having problems hearing, I'll bring them up just enough to hear them and pan that channel to try and place them in my ears where they are onstage. good luck mitch George, one thing to think about is how your band is positioned onstage, then pan the instruments so the guitar on stage right is on the right, the drum kit, usually a stereo mix, is more center with just a little left right panning, if you just use snare and kick, center them.

Some people I have worked with like a bit of extra snare of kick (bass) drum in the mix, if the drum kit is mic'ed up. I'm sure there are other suggestions. By the way, your English is just fine George! Generally in your foldback mix, you want a general mix of everything, but with yourself (i.e. bass and vocals) slightly louder.

Ive been playin as a professional for several years but now im feeling like a beginner with my new shure psm200 in ear monitor.. Its my first time trying to get the best settings for a bass player... I often plays in a band with drums keyboard lead singer guitar and me , bass and some singing. Is there anyone that have any favorite setting in the mix ?? I know theres many different but sometimes there is one that is ...the One.. for me it would be nice to hear little of everything but also my voice and base. and hear hi hat/basedrum ... its maybe a big question but it would be very intresting to hear other bassplayers choice in the mix... =) sorry for bad english George in Sweden Hi !

As a performing musican and bassplayer I agree with all that you said. Reducing stage volume while hearing everyone on stage is critical to me. The sonic quality and the isolation I get from my Atrio's is outstanding. When I play a house that has adequate low end in the PA, I love to go ampless. My Atrio's give me all the low end I need to put a smile on my face. I’ve used FutureSonics IEM’s for years. As a performing musican and bassplayer I agree with all that you said.
