I agree with what everyone one said about in-ear
monitors because the exhibit both good and bad!

Right now, the band that I'm playing with does *not*
use them.

But I was considering rigging up just one for myself
after a recent gig. Then again, we had 7 musicians
on stage and that makes for alot of noise in the
monitors.

Have you ever had the situation where the monitors are
loud but you can't hear yourself? The answer is *not*
to add more volume! The solution is to turn everything
down. But that's like taming the economy or insurance
costs. "Cut someone else's benefits"

Of course, the best way to mix any audio is to
subtract, not add.

(Too litte "highs" in the out-fronts? Cut the mids
or lows. Don't keep adding to the mix.)
