more toys than talent
(edit: Cant Hear Myself Sing)
I am in a band that mostly does our own PA but here and there we have a house PA.
When setting up things and doing a mic check, things may seem OK for tone and volume. When things get going and as the night moves on often times I cannot hear myself any more.
I have thought about getting a pre amp or using a mini mixer just for my mic so that I could boost my signal if I start to drop in the mix. OR.... If I get my own powered monitor controlling my own sound and then getting a feed from main mixer to get the rest of the band in my monitor.
Obviously the easiest solution is to fix the main problem of the mix of the band right at the console. I do not seem to have luck though with the more Senior Rocket Scientists in the band or even if there is a sound guy at the venue.
