As a bad sound engineer, I just want to say thank you for acknowledging all the hard work we don't do.

1:18 suggested addendum: marching bands do not look at the feet of each other.
Marching bands are so spread out on a football field that they have to swap styles on the fly. The back half of the band watches the conductor, who is typically on a raised platform, makes massive arm movements, and is wearing white gloves to help keep tempo. The front half of the band, hilariously, has to ignore the conductor and instead listen to the drummers behind them to keep tempo.
For this reason, drummers are typically held in the back or off to either side to keep the distance about the same without messing things up. This provides an interesting arrangement when drum highlights force the drummers to the front, as the drummers have no real way to keep tempo other than watching the conductor. Typically highlight/solo instances cause the rest of the band to be silent, so they can focus completely on marching and choreography, while staying in tempo with the drummers who are popping off on a sick highlight section of the music.

As a sound engineer, whenever an act rocks up with their own rack, and just hands me splits, I throw a little internal party, because my day was just made! You mentioned how working with bad engineers can be a massive drag, and I always work super hard to not be in that category, but sometimes you just don't have enough time to make everyone on stage happy. Some acts seem to not realise how much we have to do, so the sentiment definitley works both ways, and it's always a breath of fresh air when an act regards you as part of the team. If an act is organised enough to look after themselves on stage, then I get more time to look after them FOH. It's a win-win for everyone involved. Nice rig, and very tidy to fit into such a small rack! Kudos, and hopefully I'll catch you in London in march

15:18 felt that in my bones lmao. Sound engineering is a really tough job and I have a ton of respect for the people who do it well... but let me tell you, I spent two years gigging with an all-girl band. The amount of patronizing disrespect we got from sound guys was unreal, and it had an outsize impact on our performance, especially in large festival contexts where we had little to no control over mixes and sometimes weren't even really afforded a sound check.

I will never go back to traditional ear plugs or monitors after touring with IEMs for the past 3 years. It's night and day, I have no hearing fatigue, I have consistent sound every night and everywhere on stage. It's the best investment any serious musician can make. Especially when you get custom molds and as self-contained system with a digital mixer so you can mix yourself, send a split to FOH, and not worry about what the house engineer is doing at all.

Just one small remark to add - get the band's musicians to install the app for the monitor mixing console on their smartphones, so they can set up the mix in their ears on their own, saving a HUGE lot of time for mixing engineer and the band as a whole.

As a sound engineer, I love this. It’s great when bands actually understand the audio side of things and can make the job easier and not harder, so the engineer can focus on making the mains sound good.

This is the first IEM video ive seen that actually made me want them.

Adam this video rules. Its so hard to describe to people sometimes how sound can just disappear into the ether when you're on stage, and how frustrating it is to play in spaces that sound so drastically different from the spaces you practice in. Thrilled you guys have a setup that works with little to not headache.

I joke but I don't really play any instruments let alone tour worldwide in a band. However as someone who loves videos about technology, engineering, etc, this was still a really really great watch!
(To be honest I think part of the reason I'm subbed to Adam is because of his interest in the limits of human perception in music, and how he relates that interest to his audience via videos that use scientific studies on rhythm, pitch, etc basically scratches the same itch as a Steve Mould video would)

I recently played IEM for the first time and I was sceptical. But on stage, it felt smooth much better. I play bass and also sing backing vocals and being able to clearly hear our lead singer did miracles for my performance. Never again without IEM!

I think regular people and bedroom musicians underestimate how hard it is to hear yourself and play in a live setting. I remember the first time I tried playing guitar with a live band, only using music earplugs (no monitors) in a small room. It felt like I didn't know how to play the guitar. I couldn't hear myself through the mix at all and it was very disorienting. Being able to monitor yourself is worth it if you're actually in a band and performing.

As much as I love your more heady and academic content, this very practical real-world gear video felt like a really refreshing change of pace coming from you and I found it to be a very interesting inside look at the day to day challenges of a traveling musician. It made me a lot more sympathetic to the bands I used to work with when I ran sound for a small venue in Minnesota, they could be really really picky about their monitors, and I don't think I fully appreciated why at the time.
And even if I'm not a musician myself, this definitely scratched my gear nerd itch. Now I'd be really interested to hear about your video production setup and workflow since that's more my area of expertise.

This is such a valuable video dude, I wish I could convey to you how much it means to me

As a FOH sound engineer (who'll be mixing Sungazer on your next Portland OR date!) I fully agree with your approach here - even including the shade thrown at sound engineers. For venues without dedicated monitor eng positions, it can be very frustrating to build foldback mixes for bands that have exacting requirements but who rely on house wedges and stage volume. Self-contained IEM stage boxes completely eliminate a whole category of potential problems. Looking forward to the show - in your advance please send along that input list @6:30 ! 😆

Re the standard xlr’s not fitting in the rack case - no need for loads of expensive right angle cables, all you need are a couple of recessed adapter brackets to move the unit backwards and you’ll have plenty of room to leave standard straight xlr’s plugged in

I've never really thought about all that would need to go into touring as a band on the tech side of things. Interesting to see a small piece of that.

This is actually one of the best videos you've done in a long time, for me, even though I'll never be a touring musician. It was such an interesting window into another world, and its succinctness and clarity were amazing. I hope the people who ARE touring see this and take your recommendations to heart; it's always such a shame to hear that talented musicians are losing their hearing to shoddy set-up.

Hey all! Clarifying some things with the sponsor. Good news, if you sign up now it’s actually cheaper than what I said - the bundle right now is actually $11.59/year. It’s a little unclear from the desktop landing page at curiositystream.com/adamneely, but you DO get both Nebula and CuriosityStream by clicking on the top banner. If you’re having trouble, please email help@curiositystream.com/. However, unfortunately, (and this really bums me out), my class is in fact NOT part of the bundle. Nebula Classes is technically a separate feature, and it costs an additional $1 per month if you signed up for the Nebula/Curiosity Stream bundle. Wires got crossed when the script for this ad was approved, and I was reading from an incorrect ad copy. I’m sorry I misled anyone, unwitting as it was. The rest of Nebula is awesome! It’s great, lots of quality videos from quality creators, and I think if you signed up for the bundle you’ll like it too. However, if the reason why you signed up was to get access to my class and can’t afford that extra premium, I totally understand. Please email support if you’d like a refund (or if you’d like to pay that extra for Nebula classes). Sorry once again y’all, these things happen!
