Subject:RE: In Ear Monitors

My keyboard mix is fine; the problem I was having
(other than the Nebraska 'no aux' to send situation)
was getting the overall volume LOUD enough.

In both locations, the mix sent by the board was
allegedly VERY hot. We turned the transmitter all the
way up, and my receiver all the way up. But it was
generally lacking in power. That's my big beef. All
engineers involved were more than helpful. It was
just strange that we couldnt get the overall volume
up.
