If you've been thinking about trying some custom molded in ear monitors for your live playing, or even in the recording studio, we've got the pro tip for you. One of our channel's most popular videos was a couple years ago, when I took you through the process of creating your very own custom molded in ear monitors at a very affordable price point. This video is an updated version of that original one, with a couple new tips and techniques. So, if you've ever asked the following questions, we've got the answers for you!
Have you ever wondered what kind of in-ear monitors professional musicians use? There’s a good chance that they’re using earpieces that have been custom molded to their specific ear canals. Although it’s certainly possible for people to go out and pay for companies to make them for you, there’s a REALLY good chance you’re going to pay an arm and a leg for them (~$1000 or more)!! However, for the savvy Hobby Musician, with a ten dollar ear plug kit and a little craftiness, you can create custom molded tips for whatever monitors you might already have! In this episode, I’ll take you through the process from start to finish, giving you tips and advice along the way.
By the end of this video, I hope you can see how simple and affordable this whole process is! Thank you so much for watching and as always, until next time...play on my friends, play on!
