Hi Everyone.
I am the music director/pastor of a large church in Canada. I am having a problem with performance issues. Here is my gear run down for context. Gretsch white falcon into AXE FX II. We run into a high end sound system out front with using Roland M-48 for personal mixers. I have a Sennheiser wireless in ear pack with 64 audio in-ears model a-12. I love the Axe FX and the sounds i get live but only when attaching and singing through a QSC full frequency monitor. I can improvise and really "feel" the moment playing.
I have a high end in-ear system... i even have ambient stage mics setup to alleviate that "fishbowl" effect. However, I find the whole IN-Ear experience very uninspiring. i have a very difficult time improvising since the interacting with the tone is very blah.. I find that i am very utilitarian in my performances. However, I do find that my voice lasts longer using in-ears... (We have a rehearsal and 3 services on Sundays)
In addition. the bass player and the drummer are both direct. Drummer is playing a TD-50 kit so I am never dealing with volume issues. I use the in-ear system so i can do ableton stems and keeping my voice singing healthier.
Am i doing something wrong with my in-ears? are my expectations too high? Is a improvising/ interacting with tone from guitar something that can't be expected when running in-ears. I am pretty sure all the gear i am running is top end so i can't really fault that. As the music director i also really need to hear a full mix so i can coach everyone. I do run in stereo so i can separate the parts better but i still find it VERY difficult. Is there any way i can make the IN-EAR experience better?
Anybody else have these issues or any suggestions?
