Well I did look into the difference. Interesting, I must say. And quite useful. But I'll just leave things panned centrally and focus on the singing piece. :-)

And if asked, before now, I would have said pan control and balance control to be the same. I’m on it Dave! I’ll report back ASAP! ?

I believe I've achieved success. The cable from my mp3 player is a phone jack on the end into the player and split on the outbound side. I put the two out bound leads into the left ports of the 2 Line-In channels of my Mix-5. I put the Xvive transmitter on the Left side of the Main Out. It does...

Back to drinking from the firehose (AFAIKS, peeps). To get to solution, using the my Mix-5 => put the two outputs of the mp3 cable into the two L inputs of Mix-5 and put the sending unit from my Xvive into the Left Main Out and I should be good i.e. I should get "all the sounds" of what the...

Oh sure, just when I thought I had this figured out I realized I didn't. The combination of the Mix-5 and the receiver of the Xvive there are 3 level controls. Logic tells me to set the controls on the Xvive receiver and the main out on the mix to a mid point and use the channel level controls...

I trying to get my head around this. The mp3's output is stereo meaning depending on how the track I'm playing is recorded, not all the 'music' is heard on both left and right sides equally. If I plug the output from the mp3 into one of the stereo input of the Mix-5 and I use both the L and R...

Thanks Rob. Perfect. This is what I was looking for and I'm sure DM60 would maybe have had similar input had I framed my question better. First get the voice level right and the slowly bring up the backing track to where it sounds like I want. The mix guy I work with is good about adjusting to...

Thanks DM60. And for the learning point as I was thinking of me and not the mix for the audience. I realize the sound guy for my Open Mic or for a stage band will mix for the audience. My goal is to better understand how to do this for me and what I'm hearing. Thanks again for the learning.

I am new to using IEM. Due to an asymmetric hearing issue I have found the in-ears solve a problem I was having with stage monitors. I invested in the Xvive U4 system. I am using Shure SE215 Pro? earphones that I purchased several years ago for a similar but slightly different reason. (I put a...

Thanks Dave, You introduced a new term 'mono sum' which is something I need to learn about. I see the advantage of using the AUX send being a mix but when the only channels I have to select from is the mic input and the mp3 player input..... is that different than using the main out? Again, AUX...

As usual BSG, thanks. So how am I using this equipment? Great question and when I stop and think about it I sometimes feel I have collected some really cool gear but I don't really understand how best to use them. So to some basics.... I use the Mix-5 at my 'in-home' studio. In addition, I have...

So what I'm learning is that based on how I use the Xvive - having a mixer with a AUX Send - pre fader or post fader - will not improve my situation. The Mix-5 has a headphone out. It seems I could use the headphone out for my Xvive and still use the Main Outs for my stage monitors, if I should...

Thanks ecc83. I'm not sure what you meant by 'cannot see how to connect to it tho'but? The thought would be to have the transmitter for the Xvive plugged into the AUX Send port of the Mix-8. The difference in pre and post is good to know about and learn more about

With my schedule ups and downs it seems my singing hobby takes a backseat some times. Off and on, I perform at a local Open Mic and love it. But one of my biggest issues has been the change between singing without a mic to singing with a mic. The sound is so different and I find myself focusing...

Thanks to all who help solve this mystery. PorterhouseMusic, you did spend some time!! Wow!! Thanks. :-)

Bingo!! I need to watch this again. Hey thank you flyingace! Peter O'Toole, Donald Sutherland??? Sort of similar, one could argue. Both great actors. Thanks again!

Rigoletto is close. The film I was remembering was US based. And the young woman was a lead singer for a bar band. Thanks for your idea!

Rob, you paint a picture of my life on stage. I had to laugh. The sound guy is great and very patient. He wants the volume of my .mp3 player maxed. Massive, you said to first get the vocal where I want it. And then bring up the backing track. I think Rob had things in the opposite order. I...

Thanks Farview. I think you're spot on with my situation. I practice a lot but not so much with the mic and monitor. And, of course, I hear myself talk all day and I know what that sounds like and the singing without the mic reinforces this sound. So, like you said, I put a mic in front of my...

To start what a great thread!! I have an Aston Element condensing mic, Focusrite Solo AI and 5" M-Audio monitors. I use Reaper for recording and mixing. My goal is very simply to record my own voice using backing tracks for the purpose of vocal improvement. I was shocked at how the mic...
