Hey Steave, that type of mixing hasn’t been done in years.
Part of beeing in a band is to work together and that means beeing able to hear
one another.
If the sound is too loud, How can they even understand what there doing, let
alone what there playing.
I’ve been playing in heavy metal bands, and all the engineers I spoke to or
even work with always make sure the sound is blended in the house system, and
the guys I’ve worked have even told band members to turn down their volumes, as
to properly control the mix.
There is of course a certain sound an amp generates to acheeve a distorted
effect, but not to the point where you can’t hear your self.
When it comes to sounds in clubs the engenieer is always the one who controls
the over all blending of the sound.
You might want to get yourself a pair of music ear plugs, which will allow you
to hear certain sounds better.

Hi all,
At the end of last night Show, I was asked to join the band (who was topping
the bill) The house mix was controlled by a sound engineer, however, the Band's
stage mix was simply their independent Guitar and bass amp levels.
My two questions are,
1: has anyone else been on a loud stage environment where it sounds like the
keyboard is in a different key to the other instruments until the levels drop
during the music, at that point you then hear the key for what it is?
2: When the stage level is so loud you can't hear the keyboards, is there any
technique that totally visually impaired musicians use to A: know your hitting
the right notes and B: keep metronomic?
I struggled last night with these particular issues, I always have a slight
Doppler effect when music is loud, I especially don't always hear the bass
notes as clear defined pitcht notes.
