Hello, recently with my band we created a small home studio in a little room. We are : 2 Guitars , 1 Bass, 1 Drummer. We play with amp sims and electronic drums, so it is not a very loud environment.
The audio interface we are going to buy the next few days is this: Focusrite 18i20 3d Gen and the headphone amp we are looking to buy is this one : Headphone Amp. This amp will have only one job, to distribute the sound to every single one of us so we can hear the instruments. We also need to buy some headphone or in ear monitors so we can track our live performance. Currently in my home studio i am using a pair of Sennheiser's HD560S
These are some gear i had my eyes on for a few days:
In Ear Monitors:
Sennheiser IE 200
Sennheiser IE 100 Pro
Shure se215cl
Headphone:
Sennheiser HD 200 Pro
Audio-Technica ATH-M30X
Sennheiser HD-280 Pro
Audio-Technica ATH-M40X
Austrian_audio_hi_x15
Rode_nth_100
Austrian_audio_hi_x20
You get the idea!
I know that the headphone amp is not great, but the budget is a little tight right now! So we only need to do it's job. Of course you can give us some recommendations!
The question is: What's the best monitoring system for band practicing - Live performance? Headphones or in ear monitors? Can you give some product recommendations? It's worth mentioning that i play the guitar and sing at the same time.
