Hello,
Yes, lots of talk on this subject, and I have done research... but still not satisfied with my sounds. So here is the deal. With speakers, monitors, or performance live, sound is good, natural, and fits in with the group. However, I use In-ears, either molded or headphones depending on what I am doing. I cannot still get a good sound that replicates a mic'd amp... everything sounds sterile to me. During a show, I hesitate make any changes on the fly, as what I hear in my head is not what the audience hears...
If anybody has additional suggestions to assist, I would appreciate it.
* I do run stereo in-ears...
* I usually use a combination of NF and FF cabs... with air, presence...
* I have light reverb on everything (not enough to hear in the room, but stands out in the in-ears).
* I do some slight tweaking via EQ (not enough for the room, but works for in-ears)
* I will sometimes put in slight chorus/enhancer/flanger to expand the sound field a bit.
* I have downloaded RW IR's and have been going through them, trying to see good combinations.
Perhaps there is some combination of reverb/delay/chorus mono/stereo that may better replicate the environment better?
Overall I am just concerned about 2 primary sounds. A nice sounding clean for rhythm work, and a good solid rock/distort for other songs. I normally use either Marshall amp/cab or fender... but have been leaning towards pretty much just Marshall to simplify my sound and get more consistent tone across all my presets.
I appreciate any feedback people can suggest...
