| OK, seems like I have a lot of learning to do. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was looking for the "Holy Grail", but all I wanted was for you, the experienced guys, to give me YOUR personal preferences when it comes to what type of gear you use for live vocals.
From what I read, you all recommend that I worry about the speakers, and PA first. What would you get for medium to large clubs mainly? Can you please try to give me a more universal solution that can also work for small to medium open-air concerts, so that having 1 setup can be modified only slightly for different situations.
Finally, and thanks for pointing out in-ear monitors, what would you do if you have to deal with shitty equipment (poor speakers/PA)? How do you make the singer as comfortable as possible, so that he can hear himself clearly even when he doesn't sound well in front?
Let's put it this way--how do you make the singer the most independent from external events? What is the best you can do to get a great signal, and feed it back to him for monitoring regardless of circumstances? What would be your vocal and voice-monitoring chain?
Would appreciate advice and further reading on the topic of live vocals.
Thanks |
