Uncle Ed says to send a flat signal to monitor/Robert Venables suggest that he'd rather hear his "real" sound as monitor, because he feels that he can "hear" and therefore "play" better.
I'll just pass on that Howard Levy sends a flat signal out to the mixing board, and uses a separate monitor mix to hear it the way "he" wants to hear it.
He figures that whatever he sends out to the board, the soundman is going to mess with it anyway, so he may as well start with a flat signal. This way, he gets to hear "his" sound the way he needs to hear it.
So, in this case, I suppose he would tend to favor Robert's take on the subject.
Ed: I hope this little disagreement doesn't make you withdraw your "wheelbarrow reception" in Austin . . .
