In this episode, I share my personal struggle with depression and the impact it has had on my life. I delve a bit into the encouragement and support I received from and reflect on overcoming challenges and bouncing back.

Despite the circuitous journey I finally land on the topic understanding and setting up monitors for live performances. I cover -

1. Analog mixer monitor mixing
2. Digital mixer monitor mixing,
3. Mixing to floor wedges
4. Mixing to IEM's
5. Monitor signal routing and gain structuring

I wrap it all up talking a bit about building RAVE a community where we can all share our experiences both personal and professional so we can all grow and learn from them.

Here are the takeaways from this episode:

• Vulnerability and support are essential in overcoming personal struggles.
• Understanding and setting up monitors is crucial for live performances and requires attention to detail.
• In-ear monitor mixing techniques differ from wedges
• Comparison of analog and digital mixer monitor mixing
• Importance of signal routing and gain structuring
• Community engagement and future topics for the podcast
