Hello. I do a lot of cover-gigs using the helix for my guitar, but usually I cannot hear myself singing. This is a constant point of frustration for me because it really limits my ability to sing the way I'd like to. I'd love to get in-ears, but given the nature of these gigs, I don't think I can swing it. I was wondering if I could use the Helix to accomplish the same thing without mucking up the front-of-house mix by plugging the mic directly into the Helix and then running the front-of-house cable into one of the XLR outs. My thinking was that I'd run the signal unaltered to the house mix, but also run it with some processing to headphones along with my guitar. This set up wouldn't manage to include the rest of the band, but I think I can probably experiment with the volume settings until I find a setting that (A) allows me to hear the band and (B) gives me more vocal feedback so that I can actually... sing. Would that work?

I've been using the Stagescape MD20 mixer for many years, but recently changed my new band over to all using in-ears for monitors (with no stage amps). Right now I'm using a splitter on one of the 4 monitor outs to share a mix for bassist & drummer. It works, but we also have some shows where we bring in a horn player, and I'm literally out of monitor sends. I know I can use the headphone out, but that would be the exact mix going to FOH, where a 'slightly more ME' mix would be ideal for each and every band member. All that to say, does anyone know of any method whatsoever (within the board or using outboard gear) to expand the monitor output to more than 4? I know most modern newer digital mixers have upped their # of monitor outs due to the overwhelming use of in-ears for monitors. I just love using the MD20 with my Line 6 speakers, and trying to see if there's a way to avoid needing to sell it and buy a newer mixer with more outputs. Any insight is appreciated, thank you!
