Gordon, I am in agreement with you. If we don’t have our ears, we can’t mix, 
and make the proper decisions. 

Whatever you do don’t hurt  them. 

Doug, Daniels.

            Hi:

Wow!  If t he stage volume is that loud that you can’t hear what you’re 
playing, it’s time to get off.  That can’t be doing your ears any good.  
Believe me, I’ve done my share of loud playing but I never got into a situation 
like what you are describing.  I’ve really stayed away from heavy metal rock 
anyway.  We need our ears, and any hearing loss will be with you for the rest 
of your life, so be careful.

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.
