Derek’s Helix band rig with IEMs (stab: 1981 DRV)Using the sends and returns as inputs and outputs, I’m able to get click track, backing tracks, and a monitor mix in IEMs.This allows to send Helix to the PA and lets the sound guy manage levels for monitoring just like with a floor wedgeAlso can apply any blocks on my monitor feed if I want, like EQ, compression, etc.DI box recommendations?
