When setting up, I throw in the in-ear monitors to block out the outside world and begin raising the stand.. when it sounds perfect, either through opening band or house music, that's where I leave it... always different..
Real good idea. I never wanted to be the earphone geek in the section but I'll have to try this out. T+
just can't do it. feel dorky enough, particularly when taping non-jambands. Headphones = Spaz.
in ear monitors are the key... Those etymotics are barely noticeable. Not like you'd have them on long anyway...
but I concur on the headphone geek. Headphones on during a show = tool. You can't hear anything with headphones on during play anyway. I mean, sure, you can hear something, but what are you going to do if you hear something you don't like? Move the stand? Change caps?
