Abstract:
This seminar is geared toward the music engineer who wants to make the transition to mixing with in-ear monitors. Although in-ear monitors seem ubiquitous on television and stage, many sound engineers still rely on the stage monitor due to the cost of in-ears or the lack of experience. As the cost of wireless comes down, there will be more opportunities for less experienced mixers to use in-ear monitors, but what are some of the things to look out for as you make this transition. Professional monitor mixers will discuss some of the ways a sound engineer can prepare for mixing in-ears including important hearing safety issues as well as some of the minimum equipment requirements.
