I'm looking to maybe add a set of in-ears to my rig. My band got back together this winter and we're starting to look toward booking some shows, and I'd like to not have engage in volume wars both there and at practice. Here's the catch, I only want to use the in-ears for myself. I play in a tech-y death metal/grind band, so there's little hope of being able to grab a monitor mix from the board, I literally just want to be able to turn myself up a bit in balance with the rest of the band as needed, without turning up my amp/cab.
Live, I run my Axe FX 2 into a Matrix GT800>cab via output 2. I'm thinking I can take output 1 XLR outs into an in-ear receiver, and then give myself a bit of a mix as needed. I've tried this with an inexpensive Galaxy Audio system with mixed results. Sound was just thin and not happening. That may have been due to using cheap earbuds (so I can return the good ones I bought if this idea doesn't work out.)
So this morning I'm thinking about grabbing the Shure PSM300 system with the 215 earbuds. Will that give me better sound? Can I pan the PSM300 so I have nothing in 1 ear and everything in the other? I was surprised at how quickly I could lose our drummer with the mix in both ears.
