Can't think of a more appropriate conference for this so here goes...
The band I play in has recently acquired a replacement PA. Its a Laney
(UK built I think). We have a MicroVerb III in the effects loop to use
instead of the PA's reverb. We only use the PA for vocals.
My question is why do the effects not appear on the monitors? The monitors
are fed from a monitor socket. Is there some logical reason for this or
do we have a fault? Sixth sense tells me there's some logical reason.

| 3194.1 | Monitors are usually dry sends.. | ASABET::pelkey.ogo.dec.com::pelkey | professional hombre | Mon Apr 29 1996 08:24 | 30 |
Most monitor sends are dry, (as in no effects) As far as logical reason, well, I'm not sure there is one. I think everyones preference would be to get a little grease and delay on the monitors, but i think in working situation, the less 'stuff' on the vocals the easier it is to hear em and prevent feedback. But, basiccally, there are ways of getting some effects to your monitors, and a lot of this depends on your mixing console, and what sort of sends you may have. If your board has multiple sub-outs, (like sub1, sub2,) you could in essence send sub1 to your mains, and sub2 to your monitors (this ofcourse means that you're not using the monitor sends, and loose individual monitor control over each chanell you need the monitors on (Primarily Vocals)... Anyways, both of the sub-outs (if you have em) should allow the effects loop in to the singnal.. But if you only have a main out and a monitor out, .... you'd have to get creative.. Someone who's familiar with the mixer your using may be able to offer some more help... /r | |||||

Gents: Another way around this that would allow you to still use the monitor send would be to patch the other channel of the MVIII between the monitor out jack and the monitor power amp. The Alesis is a stereo device, and I'm assuming that your only using one side (channel) of it. Joe | |||||

Thanks for the responses. The last point is very interesting. I never
thought of that. Must give it a go.
