![]() ![]() ![]() I think this is especially common in the low-mid range. Two or more instruments playing in the same range tends to get muddy and then it's necessary to turn stuff down to keep it clear. Where everybody is playing in the frequency spectrum in a song. If there's no dedicated sound engineer then I suppose it's up to one of the band members to mix the FOH? I agree that there's much more to it than simply balancing all your patches at home. And that's not because the engineer can't be bothered. We always have a sound engineer mix FOH but even then it often happens that only a fraction of the parts I play fall nicely balanced in the mix. I have to cover multiple types of sound, sometimes at the same time that are all over the frequency spectrum. This is a complicated issue, especially as keyboardist in a cover band. It would be really great if somebody could give me some tips or resources because I would like to learn more about this to improve my live performance.Ĭheers, tivaro Posts: 1 Joined:, 14:04 Has thanked: 1 time Been thanked: 0 time Your Nord Gear #1: Nord Stage EX I tried to search on this forum but I could not really find anything. I was wondering wether people have run into similar issues and how they dealt with them. I know this puts severe restrictions on what I can do, but I just want to do the best given the conditions. In some quite rocky songs where I did the organ, I could not hear myself well enough to play.Īs we are very amateur, we do not have a professional sound engineer and we rent quite crappy gear during our set. I tried to leave my main volume at 75% during sound-check so that I could have some control over the volume, but in order to hear myself over the bass player I had to dial my main volume all the way up (as well on the mixer and on my own (active) monitor). My main issue is when during a live performance I can hear myself well enough for some patches, but not for others. The piano is especially difficult because it seems very dependent on the PA system, and next to this its seems a matter of equalizing more than just volume. With the bottom 3-4 open, I find it quite silent. In general I find that the synth is always (too) loud, rhodes and e-piano have an average volume, and organ is really dependent on how open (and how many) the drawbars are. Live on stage, the dynamics were once again different, and when the band starts playing the dynamics change again. Initially, I balanced the patches on my NS trough my headphones at home, but then I discovered that when I played them over my monitors at home they were not balanced anymore. This is not a very great solution because for patches with multiple instruments and effects like overdrive, it is difficult to change the volume while maintaining the same overall sound.Īn even bigger problem is that I found that the correct volume of the patch is dependent on the PA used. My first solution was to balance each patch that I am using by changing the volume for each instrument. ![]() I found that the volume can vary quite a lot between patches. One problem that I run into is balancing the volume of all my patches during a gig. I play in an amateur cover band and I am using most of the sections and capabilities of my Nord. I have a NS Classic and I am very happy with it.
