I've been using IEMs lately because they allow a click track to be in my ears, allow a customized mix without pissing off our singer , etc. Overall, the experience has been positive, but the guitar tones have been very poor. Everything sounds great at FOH, great in live monitors, great in studio monitors, but in ears seem to really struggle. It sounds like a very low quality "boxy" modeling plugin...
More than fractal tips (though if you have those I'll certainly listen), I'm looking for audio engineer tips for improving the sound of in ears. Is there a master eq that can be put on the bus that would help significantly. Is it truly necessary to have a second board and eq everything separately for IEM mixes? Are there any tips / tricks / best practices that I'm simply unaware of?
