How do YOU cue?
View this Thread in Original format

just want to get an idea of what peoples' preferred method is for cueing up songs in the cans...

1 ear for me.
Freak
used to be 100% split cue 2 ears on until a few years ago.

now its 99.9% 1 ear cue. Half the time I mix to the main rig instead of using the monitors - yes I know im a freak, but ive just adjusted to it after years of playing in places with monitors or non existant monitors and know how to adjust to the delay quickly now.

master on the right, cued channel on the left.
Freak
Oh- i always have my headphones on as follows: L earcup on my right ear. Usually because i like the cable on my right hand side and it usually comes from the L cup

im curious to know tho - for those that use the one ear method (like myself) - do u only have the cued track playin in the cup or do u have the master playing as well?

1/2 ear (depending on situation) cue & master.

err.. care to explain your reason for this?


i've never really used the 2 ear method to mix. i use the split cue function (with both cups) to level out both tracks but from there its always one ear. in the house i use one ear with cue and master playing but when i play out i find i have to use just the cue track as not all mixers have a pan feature between cue/master

at home i usually do all my work in the headphones. -in stereo.

when i go 1 ear, i use the left one for cuing, and listen to the monitor, or rig on the right. sometimes i will match in the headphones, then pull one ear off to compare, and get an idea of what adjustments i will need to make for delay.
