Mixing Live Sound: Mixing Monitors

When you're mixing live sound, there's no job more considered "the hotseat" than mixing monitors. We've got two brand-new guides that you might enjoy: mixing wedge monitors, and mixing in-ear monitors. Learning these two separate but similar disciplines will help make you an even better engineer, and one that can do both well is always in demand.

Aside from getting the mix right, don't forget about the basics of hearing protection. When you're mixing in a high-volume environment without in-ear monitors, you'll need to look into earplugs. Don't forget to protect your most valuable instruments!
