I've been gigging w/ a band for about 3 years now. We are a loud 80's metal cover band.
My hearing is about gone but when I wear earplugs it is hard to hear the guitar changes. I use the plastic ones - not the pink foam type. I know this is probably discussed somewhere here before but here are my questions:
I don't know really anything at all about in ear monitors, etc.
1. What alternative do I have besides a big wedge monitor next to me at a gig?
2. Is there something I can use where I can control each guitar's volume myself?
3. Also I would like to control the singer's (monitored volume to me) myself.
4. I'm also not even opposed to wearing noise cancellation headphones (or maybe just wear those at practice).
Thoughts or any links are great. Also not interested in anything real expensive unless it is really worth it - it's not like we are on tour.
What else do I need to make it work?
