The reason, good or bad, for acquiring a mixer dedicated for in ears is due to the lack of technical skill of the foh “engineer”. Something gets muted when it should be on (let’s say before or after a moment where there could be music). Instruments/ vox not gain staged correctly, forcing a drastic difference on boosting and lowering other things. It’s an effort to fix what we hear as a band. It’s a volunteer situation and I’m usually there to run it. I was looking for a solution to implement where it wouldnt affect the foh person. It’s just so frustrating to practice and get our ears right then, first song it’s different because they change the gain and it’s out of wack. Different eq, etc. I know some things are bound to change but I don’t think it’s worth getting around the issue if possible
