  1. ...And Jandrio, you're suggesting that only the drummer need hear the click through headphones? Is the entire mix in the headphones or just the synth and click? The rest of the band need not apply? Not even the bass player?

    i suppose this depends on the venue: if stage monitors r available 4 the drummer, then he needs only the synth+click on his headphones, otherwise with IEMs, i suppose he needs the click track+synth PLUS the rest of the band.

     

     

     

    ... I also assume that the synth part will be fed to the monitors for the rest of the band to hear without click?

     correct: synth part goes 2 the monitors 4 the rest of the band 2 hear without click.

    ... What special gear do you need to make mainstage happen live?...

    i dunno abt mainstage, we r using a simple pc connected 2 the pa AND the video projector 4 above-the-stage vid show.

    the playlist progression is performed manually by our backstage pc operator (band staff).

  2. ...If I am using MainStage for let's say a synth part, how is everyone playing on stage able to hear that synth part? ...

    this is a good q.

    a simple solution is:

    - send the syth WITHOUT A CLICK TRACK 2 the console (this is audible by the main pa speakers)

    - send the synth WITH A CLICK TRACK on the drummer's headphones, so he can hear the synth plus the click track

    - everyone on stage just hears the drummer plus the synth part form the pa monitors.

    we have tried this approach successfully on playing baba o'riley live an', believe me, it works.

    u only need a stereo track were both channels play the synth (mono), but only one channel plays also the click track.

  3. most mixing consoles have the option of providing phantom power thru the xlr connections 2 power condenser mics.
    technically speaking, phantom power is a positive voltage (12–48 V DC) on XLR pins 2 and 3 with respect to pin 1 (the cable shield is connected 2 the phantom-power ground).

    when hd500(x) xlr'ed direct 2 pa, do NOT forget 2 ask the sound guy 2 cut-off phantom power in2 ur xlr connections...

    usage of a di box by default cuts off phantom power, since the 1/4" jacks r connected in2 the hd500(x).

    also, 1/4" cables have a length limit, so if the console is "far" enough from ur on-stage hd500(x), the sound guy MUST use xlr lines thru the so called "snake" (a bunch of many-many-may cables connecting the stage with the mixing board).
