Etymotic makes an earplug that reduces all frequencies equally by 10db or so... above and beyond use them when DJing. They're for protecting your hearing.
Ah ok, so you get both the cue mix and the main mix coming through the earbuds?
I always thought you were supposed to run your cue track through the headphones and line it up with the main mix comning through the main speakers. But I think your way is better. Am I getting this right?
Alanzo, I have a pair of those earplugs (mine are hearos or something tho) they work very well But again I get that microphonic problem when singing which is strange because I know a lot of popstars use them on stage... Am I doing something wrong maybe?

It can be done both ways.
Some prefer using headphones on both ears ("split-cueing"), while others prefer one ear on a headphone, and the other listening to an adjacent monitor.
Ah OK thanks for the info, I'll try doing it this way from now on I think... It means you run the risk of your main mix sounding rubbish though doesn't it? Or you could forget to change the track over to the main channel from the cue channel, Frankie Wild style
Sorry, I've totally hijacked this thread haven't I...
