Mixing Monitors From FOH Introduction HD

- In most smaller venues, such as the lovely Pickle Factory in Bethnal Green, the sound engineer is required to do two jobs - mixing both monitors and FOH from the same desk. In this introduction to the Mixing Monitors From Front Of House Masterclass, Justin Grealy discusses some of the pitfalls and difficulties you may face.
Mixing monitors from FOH can be tricky - you’re doing two different jobs at the same time. Justin has some tips and tricks up his sleeve to help you make the best of the situation.
Mixing monitors from FOH means using one channel for two jobs - stage sound and FOH for the audience. This means sharing the same gain & EQ for both, which limits what you can do during the show. On an analogue desk, using a Y-split can be really helpful, at least on the vocals, as this gives you separate channels for each job. On digital desks, you can split all the channels with ease - this leaves you with only the Gain being shared. But digital desks do have Digital Trim, which then allows further control over the gain of each channel.
Justin’s personal preference with the Drum Fill is to put the sub and top on separate mixes - this allows easy control of Low Frequency feedback without affecting the rest of the drummers mix.
All channel processing on shared channels is audible in both monitors and FOH. It’s preferable to NOT have compression on most instruments in monitors as this affects the way a musician plays - if it’s over-compressed, they will play harder and possibly “overplay”, which is not an ideal situation, so if you have a digital desk. It’s worth splitting as many as you can/need.

Today we'll discuss how to mix monitors from front of house while on a yacht...
This Gent has obviously been in the trenches for many years and identified very well (and quite concisely here ) most if not all the issues that need addressing to accomplish this very complex task. Running FOH while tweaking on stage monitors at the same time is beyond challenging in my opinion. He explains all this expertly here. Thanks Justin.
This is great video for all sound engineers out there who wants to get into the live sound business. Professional tips and tricks that can save your ass on the job. Respect.
Thanks for the kind words!
Justin, I want to personally thank you for this video. I watched it last week and picked up some few ideas to test in my local church. We use the Behringer X32. I can report back that it was a significant improvement of stage mix. Prior to that, singers and instrumentalist both on stage complain they cannot hear themselves but over this weekend, they all affirmed that the changes has really solved their hearing problems. Thank you again for taking your time to share these tips.
That's great news! So good that you've applied what you learnt and that it's made a difference to your and your musicians experience. The rest of the masterclass is available at www.soulsound.co.uk.
He looks so much like dan from that pedal show
Stand still lad!
Dude I dig your means of explanation
Ok i'm starting to oscillate like a pendulum.
I need some Dramamine.
I remember meeting Justin yeeeeears ago. Lovely guy! Loves to talk. :P
damn thats a long ass hallway he's walking in...
Great video
Thank you sir for your packaged information
Certainly some good tips in there
This is very interesting. Where is it possible to watch the full video?
Hi - the rest is available on www.soulsound.co.uk
Hi Diro - you can watch it at www.soulsound.co.uk
Hi, I have a question. What are advantages of using 2 monitors for the vocalist compared to 1?
its louder
you can sway from side to side between the 2 of them
i think its depend of the polar pattern of the mic!
supercardioid and hypercardioid feedback more if the wedge is behind it
Great information.... but I was getting sea-sick watching him! Please Mr Sound Guy, lean on something while you talk in the future so that you don't annoy the viewers with your shifty movements! But keep giving us good info too!
full screen is the best way to watch this
There is a reason why he chose to be on that end of the multicore ;)
@@wonkyrobot Lots of us sound peeps are "on the spectrum." Auts rock.
Hello, I want to know if there is a website or best place to get fairly used live band equipments
Anybody know this panel has any latency far beyond the comma ?
Only issue i have with this is about compression/gates Most digital boards you can send it pre/ post almost anything. In my case x32/m32
Stand still.
Dancing while talking....😁
rock the boat
the guy obviously knows his job ,but I wish he wouldn't be bouncing fr left to right all the time
He just does that, if you're in the actual classroom (his NORMAL teaching habitat lol) it doesn't matter at all. In fact, I preferred it over the mannequin-syndrome other teachers had.
I almost got seasick watching it :P
Oh come off it please. It’s not very often that a sound engineer does a video, these guys are always working in the background FOR everyone else, and this is a rare Treat. All of us get nervous doing something we are not used to.
He's just keeping check of his stereo image. :)
@@kazhilly well put. Spot on assessment.
Dear Sir, I am an encouraging person on sound engineering. I would like to work and study with you. Can you give me a help??? Thanks!!
Like analog boards, monitors (wedges) will soon be a thing of the past, being replaced by in ear monitors. The advantages are too numerous to list.
Great video, Thanks a Lot!!
I would Love a chance to be with you when You set a system up and do your sound checks, I would be So much the wiser...
