For participants in the live music industry of any scale, we can all agree that the industry needs change for the better, so who’s ready to make some changes?
At Nice Rack Canada we 100% endorse the concept of silent backline to provide the best possible concert experience for the patron, and the player.
In Ear Monitors provide the user with -26db of isolation from their immediate audio environment, helping preserve their hearing quality & avoiding tinnitus.
By removing the SPL created by stage monitors, the artist’s stage volume drops immensely making it easier for the Front of House engineer put a full band mix into the PA system.
The artist has greater control over how much of what they hear and at what volume, allowing them to deliver the best possible performance without ear fatigue.
For analog amp purists we now have the technology to capture how your amp & cabinet sounds in a high end recording studio and use that tone live.
The more volume we remove from the stage, the better listening experience we can create for the paying customer.
Many times when we go to see bands at the club level we’re awestruck by the playing & songwriting, but dismayed by how bad the mix sounds.
Often the root of the problem is in the stage volume coming from guitar amps, and the drummer playing loud enough to get over the amps, followed by the singer needing more volume in their monitor to hear themselves over the drummer & guitarist, who in turn then turns up to get over the singer’s monitor and so on, and so on, and so on.
Artists spend hard earned money getting great sound on recordings, and then the live effort undermines the entire studio process. The technology now exists to take studio quality guitar tone into the live realm.
At the performer & technical end of the industry we’re not empowered to change the venue circumstances, but it’s within our grasp to change how the paying public receives the product they have paid for.
Well within current artist budgets & travel demands are In Ear Monitor systems, and Impulse Response hardware that can help the artist create an “album mix” experience for the paying public.
If the patrons leave the gig with a great experience because of how good it sounded rather than wincing because it sounded so bad, we’re doing the entire live music industry a favour.
We proudly offer sales & technical integration services for Shure & Sennheiser In Ear Monitor Systems, and Two Notes Audio Engineering Impulse response boxes.
We are a dealer for Revv Amplification, the first “made in Canada’ amp brand that is incorporating Impulse Response technology directly into their amps at a very competitive price & high build quality.
Not only can we sell you the hardware price matching “brick & mortar” stores, we can seamlessly integrate the gear into your band’s systems ready for touring.
Nice Rack Canada can help take your band’s performances from the past into the future now.
