Re: OT IN EAR MONITORS

yes, i find myself mixing from my motu as well, works like a million bucks, and it's great to have those results under MY hands instead of a club's length away at the sound desk.

and you're right, the bass DOES get filled in nicely.  Foam buds just have fallen out one too many times for me, no matter how efficiently I squish, but even so, I'm always trying a new pair just to see.  and I agree, the ER-4s are indeed fantastic.

The one thing I've really enjoyed about being wireless is attached to the portability of my instrument.  Cuz i'm carrying the instrument around with me, I can feel assured that all effects and devices are on and inline, even when about to walk onstage.. great sense of security.. 

all best, zoe, Todd

i've used for the last 3 years a pair of headphones called ER-4s by Etymotic Research. think they were around 400 clams then, possibly cheaper now. great company and i love their headphones.

 

custom molded ears haven't worked for me. i like little foam buds that come with my ER-4s so i can squish all the way in for soundcheck, and then i tend to leave them "half-in" for performance. the audio fidelity is less when they aren't all the way in your ears (less bass), but it doesn't bother me. the bass gets more than filled in once the house PA system comes online!

 

i just plug them into the headphone out of my Motu Ultralite. if i need to get a feed from another musician onstage, i patch them into the Ultralite (either from them, or their monitor mix from the house) too and put them into my headphone mix.

After a recent discussion with Looperlative inventor, Bob Amstadt,  I'm  
seriously thinking
about investing in a pair of IN EAR MONITORS.

I know next to nothing about this subject in terms of
1) what's out there
2) what's out there that is inexpensive yet still mainting high quality  
3) if there are any particular bargains (like the FCB 1010 Midi foot
controller is.........with a lot quality at an amazingly low price)
