Description

Monitor cue mixes are an essential piece to live sound and recording. Ensuring that the musician has the ability to hear what they’re playing is crucial. Charlie and Jeff walk us through each of their approaches and best practices for monitor cue mixes.

Key Points:
  • There are several ways to set up a monitor mix in both live and studio environments. As the audio engineer you’ll need to decide if the aux sends should be pre or post processing and pre or post fader.
  • Having a strong and ambient monitor cue mix is important. Every monitor mix needs a time reference (ex:click track) and pitch reference (ex:keys). You want the artist to hear what they need and want, without overloading the mix and their ears.
  • Artists have preferences for what they want to hear in their monitor mix. As an audio engineer, you’ll want to know how to achieve a solid baseline monitor mix so the artist can focus on the performance.
