FW: looping with a mic



I use sensaphonics in-ear monitors http://www.sensaphonics.com and they
rock. I sub-mix acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, vocals and 
guitar
synth into the EDP from a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro Mixer and have no problem 
with
leakage (except crowd noise from excited yelling fans). But I guess that's
not THAT bad of a problem to have.

I've been dreaming of a earbud/headphone system to use as monitors for
years.  I know a lot of big acts use them exclusively.  Anyone here
using something like that?
