Building / Monitor Mix Cheat
Instant cheat sheets for live sound engineers — wedge and IEM starting points, problem frequencies, and the mix logic that matters when the clock is running.
01 / The problem
You're behind the console, the band's staring at you, and someone's yelling 'more me' for the third time. Every monitor mix starts from zero — which wedge, which aux, what the singer actually needs versus what they think they need. The knowledge lives in your head, and under pressure it evaporates.
02 / What it is
Monitor Mix Cheat gives you instant reference for building monitor mixes: starting points for wedges and IEMs by instrument, common problem frequencies, and the signal flow logic that actually matters when the clock is running. It's the stuff experienced engineers know by feel, written down so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
03 / How it works
Pick the scenario — wedge mix for a five-piece, IEM starting points for a vocalist, taming a boomy stage. Get the cheat sheet: what to push, what to cut, and why. No accounts, no onboarding, no friction. It's a reference tool, and it acts like one.
04 / What's next
Steve runs live sound and needed this to exist, so he built it. What's next is expanding the library — more instruments, more scenarios, and the edge cases you only hit at 11pm on a Saturday. If you mix monitors, this is for you.
