Here is mine. Unless you are a singer and have experienced such an issue (monitor problems) you have no idea of its effect. <br />moulded plugs not only provide a full mix (they surpress any external sounds (mostly). With a bad mix, it can inhibit the ability for a singer to even hear their voice in their head. It can make pitching notes extremely difficult as usually the vocal notes are competing with other notes made from other instruments that may be louder in the mix. These notes of course are in the same scale and can get lost. To top it off, even seasoned veterans can be shaken by such events, especially on such a big stage. Comparing a mic not working with in ear failures are not the same thing. thanks :) Ronnie from OZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615486983809461390.post-47115849682623813762010-02-05T12:11:27.399-07:002010-02-05T12:11:27.399-07:00yeah. . lame.

Maybe she should've listened closer to the acoustic guitar she was playing. . .oh wait, it wasn't plugged in. :) <br /><br />It does make it hard to hear when your phones go out. I just think, even if this was legit (it is becoming a pretty common excuse whenever someone lays an egg). . it's not professional to just blame it on that. Sound systems are what they are. . . deal.aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874015216066216905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615486983809461390.post-91546883355984204802010-02-05T07:47:14.532-07:002010-02-05T07:47:14.532-07:00Yea, I think that is a lame excuse as well. After...Yea, I think that is a lame excuse as well. After all, even if you can't hear yourself, know darn sure that the house sound is on and everyone else can hear you. Which means you have to 'bow up' and hit pitch regardless. Also, all the instruments are playing in key, a good vocalist should be able to find his/her way to the pitch by listening to the bass, etc. After seeing the performance, I think it may be the worst vocal performance I have ever seen on the grammy's.Publican_Chesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172700391145919870noreply@blogger.com
