| | 79 | == Monitor Mixes |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | Initial monitor mix can be the same for all monitors and have the faders set in the middle for the piano, keyboard and each of the vocal solo mics. |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | The rhythm monitor mix is more about piano/keyboard than solo vocals, but some solo vocals there won't hurt. This mix can be proactively configured to have lower vocal fader positions. |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | I would think that for piano monitor the same would apply - piano should be more prominent than vocals - but I haven't received instructions to this effect so far. |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | For vocal solo and choir monitors, piano/keyboard and vocals need to be balanced. This is tricky because piano essentially always plays at the same volume and vocal volume varies with the songs and with the singers. See SoundIdeas#MonitorMixes for ideas to investigate. In the meantime, there are two options: send audio to monitor outputs pre-fader or post-fader. Last concert post-fader option was used, but I can't tell if it's actually better or choir can't tell the difference (or the difference exists but is not meaningfully quantifiable). |
