Performers are often the hardest people to please when it comes to sound on stage — so why not let them create their own monitor mixes?

Personal monitor mixers are a fairly recent phenomenon, brought about by the proliferation of digital mixing in the live-sound environment. Traditionally, stage monitors at large concerts have been mixed by a monitor engineer working on his or her own desk, separate from the front-of-house mixer. Although both the FOH and monitor mixers would be working with the same sources, the signals from the on-stage mics would be split into two, normally using a splitter, or sometimes with the monitor desk's direct outs being being sent on to the main console — pre-fader, of course, so that the monitor mixer's tweaks don't affect the front-of-house sound. At smaller gigs, things might be even simpler, with the whole system using just one desk, and the FOH engineer also controlling the monitor mixes using the console's auxiliary buses.

There are now many iOS apps available, such as this QMix app from PreSonus, that works with their StudioLive mixers and lets performers adjust their own monitor mixes using iPhones and iPads.

In either case, mixing monitors always involved a little trial and error. During a soundcheck, the person in charge of the monitor mixes would likely start off with a basic mix of all signals feeding the monitors a healthy amount. From there, band members would have to communicate any changes they wanted to the engineer — usually via a combination of shouting and basic hand signals! It would then be up to the engineer to interpret and then accommodate any changes (the most often request being 'More me, please!”) while avoiding feedback. Clearly, this wasn't an ideal arrangement, but before live-sound systems started making the switch to digital, it was pretty much the only way to achieve independent mixes for the various on-stage speakers and the main PA.

Getting Personal

The idea of performers being in charge of what they hear makes an awful lot of sense. Indeed, larger recording facilities have implemented this for some time with headphone foldback mixes, but the practicalities of analogue audio made it nigh-on impossible in a live-sound situation. The number of heavy and cumbersome multicores needed, not to mention mic splitters and separate mixers for each performer, all but rendered personal monitor mixing in the analogue domain impossible.

All that changed with digital, however. The ability to send vast numbers of channels down a single Cat5 cable lead to the development of the kinds of systems you can read about on the previous pages. Using just one splitter, mic signals could be connected to a distribution box, which would then send a full set of channels down several Ethernet cables, with each performer having their own 'terminal' with which to mix their monitors or in-ear systems. The fact that the performers' mixers were also digital meant that they could be made very compact — most personal monitor mixers are little larger than a tablet computer, and can be mounted discretely onto a mic stand. Finally, musicians playing on stage wouldn't have to worry about whether their monitor engineer could hear them pleading for more volume, or could interpret their frantic arm-waving!

Apps To The Future

But the evolution of personal monitor mixing didn't stop there, and Apple's now ubiquitous iPad has a lot to answer for. When companies like PreSonus started developing digital consoles that could be controlled via WiFi, engineers delighted in their newfound ability to mix a concert while walking around the venue to check for consistent coverage. It wasn't long before performers got in on the act, and there are now several digital consoles available that allow multiple iPads to be connected, with each one being capable of controlling a different auxiliary mix. This technology has now advanced to the point where tech-savvy performers can apply their own EQ and compression to sources, and where front-of-house engineers can 'lock' certain features away from performers, to prevent musicians from tampering with other performers' mixes.

Indeed, some mixer manufacturers have even developed 'more me' apps for the iPhone and iPod... So if you're using a WiFi-enabled digital console, you might even be carrying a personal monitor mixing system in your pocket already!

Okay folks, before I begin this chapter I... Kinda have something I want to spread as a Theory.

You guys probably don't know this, but I'm actually a fan of Kingdom Hearts, and thus am hyped for KH3... However me and my buddy Swift were in a real panic about what had happened to Aqua in one of the Kingdom Heart's trailers... Her turning dark and gaining golden eyes.

Not wanting to believe Aqua had fallen slave to Xehanort we began counting confirmed Xehanorts from the trailers, getting ourselves an nice 10, with three empty spaces and 4 possibilities of who would fill them, one of which is Xehanort holding the Idiot Ball and keeping slot 13 open for Sora.

And then Swift mentioned Terra-Nort.

At that moment things just slotted together in my brain- Xehanort had already pulled back three different versions of himself from time, if he were to pull back Terra-Nort, and actually, Young Xehanort is applicable for this too.

Well, time travel is messy stuff, if Terra-nort (Or Young Xehanort) were to be pulled from the past, and defeated/destroyed in the future... The entire KH series could be retconned, sure if Terra-Nort is erased then BBS will still happen, but there's the fact that the creator said that KH3 would, 'Have an ending fans may find hard to swallow', and I dunno about you, but if the whole series were to have it's history wiped...

Well, at most KH1 could still happen with minimal change due to how little Ansem/Xehanort actually did in it, but otherwise... We'd have a hard to swallow ending on our hands.

It's either this, where Sora and Riku might have never been enemies, or the BBS trio dying... In all honesty both possibilities scare me.

Spread the word people, please, I really want to hear everyone's opinion or take on this.

Now sorry for the long belayment of this story, let this chapter begin.

[[]]

[Phantom Thieves Apartment]

'Any reason why we aren't doing anything about Raven at the moment?' Ryuji asked as Futaba and Akira were going over a section of data stolen from Winter's Phone.

'We don't know enough about her.' Akira said looking up, 'If her Shadow was in Mementos there wouldn't be a problem, but she has a Palace. As it is now, all we know is her name and that's it. We've got no idea what is her location or what her distortion is.'

'So in short we know nothing so we can't help the person who sent us the request.' Ryuji sighed, 'So what are you two doing then?'

Futaba increased the size of her screen, 'I love that…' she chuckled at the feature, before turning to her friends. 'Come here. There's something you'll want to see.'

The Phantom Thieves gather around the screen Futaba had maximized.

[Project P.E.N.N.Y]

[This Project, Spearheaded by Doctor Polendina, is the latest in Android technology. P.E.N.N.Y is a very special android that, when activated, has the unique property of generating an Aura like that of a human. It is even capable of mimicking human emotions, allowing it to blend into human society. General Ironwood has demanded the project be treated like a human being, however the Atlas Council has chosen to have P.E.N.N.Y. be the base model for a new line of Android that will be sent out to blend into human and faunus society to complete missions and to eliminate Grimm with less infraction toward human life. P.E.N.N.Y will be sent to Vale for the next Vytal Festival for field testing, and should P.E.N.N.Y successfully proceed through Vale without being outed as a machine and perform well in the Vytal Festival tournament then machines of similar construction will begin development after the plans are successfully claimed from Dr. Polendina.]

'What!?' Morgana cried out in his cat form, 'These people have found a way to mimic a soul?'

'Not mimic...' Makoto said, 'They've either replicated it or... Transplanted it.'

That sent a shudder down everyone's spine.

'So they've got human life figured out enough to put a soul in a machine and they're just going to...' Ann start taking a breath before she let her anger get too far ahead, 'They're just going to treat them like other machines?'

'We can't just let this happen!' Haru said angrily, memories of her father's Palace coming to mind, 'But what should we do?'

'Well...' Futaba said as her glasses were no longer see through from a glare of light, 'It would be rather difficult to replicate P.E.N.N.Y if the blueprints were stolen... Along with P.E.N.N.Y themself.'

'We stop this from happening by stealing the master plan then.' Yusuke said putting a hand to his chin, 'Do you have a plan?'

Akira pushed his glasses up, 'Well, we're robbing a real place, so things will have to be slightly different from our usual routine.'

'He's right.' Morgana said, 'This isn't Mementos or a Palace, we can't do a little bit every day, it's got to be one big job done in a single day.'

'I've got a plan though.' Akira said, 'We'll talk on the road though.'

[Atlas Roads, Midnight]

'So the plan?' Skull asked as Joker drove Mona the van across the snow.

'First off, Oracle will hack into their systems when we arrive.' Joker said, 'We'll use a window at the least, preferably a rooftop window, but in the event we can't find anything like that, the front door is a last resort.'

'Thankfully Winter's Scroll was loaded with all the information I need.' Oracle said, 'Including maps, passwords, control of the cameras, heck I can even control the heating system.'

'So... After we steal P.E.N.N.Y what's our escape plan?' Panther asked, as that was a VERY important step. Unlike their normal variety of treasures, they weren't going to just disappear after they get them out.

'Considering we'll effectively be lugging a human on out shoulders like a sack of potatoes.' Mona said, 'We may have to break through the nearest window or door to escape.'

'We'll also have to be fast.' Joker said, 'Once Oracle shuts down their security systems it won't be long before everyone is on high alert. When that happens, we'll have a small window of time before we end up having to fight an army, and I don't think any of us want to tip our hands too soon.'

'So basically treat this like we're stealing a Treasure from a Palace.' Skull said with a nod.

'Except we're fighting humans instead of Shadows.' Queen noted with a touch of apprehension. This WAS the first time they were going to be fighting real humans who weren't part of some evil organization like Akechi was.

'In which case we shall have to avoid causing permanent harm to the soldier and scientists staffed there.' Noir reminded, earning a nod from the rest of the group.

'And once we've arrived, Oracle will disconnect P.E.N.N.Y from any tracking systems as well as transferring any files regarding her off their systems and deleting the originals.' Joker said, 'And on the road Oracle will work on reprogramming P.E.N.N.Y to rid her of anything... Malicious. Any questions or objections?'

There were none.

'Alright then, it's showtime,' Joker smirked.

[Atlas Military Science Facility]

The Phantom Thieves were rather surprised, sure there were no windows in the fully above ground facility, but there was one big infiltration route to the facility.

The Ventilation system.

'Ready?' Oracle asked as several holographic screens were visible in front of her to which the other Phantom Thieves nodded. 'Alright, I'm shutting down all systems... Now.' At that last word Oracle pressed a symbol on her screen and sound from within the ventilation stopped.

'Go.' Joker said as he and Skull tore off the vent and crawled in, 'Men first,' he said...for obvious reasons.

[Persona 5 OST: Sweatshop]

The vent's held a grate to an open hallways soon enough, a single guard standing right below it, a single elbow from Joker caused the grate to fall off and slam into the guards head with enough force to knock him out... And the 8 Thieves jumping down onto him didn't help him stay conscious.

'And here I thought guards standing right under grates was just in cartoons and movies,' Skull couldn't help but chuckle.

'Where to Oracle?' Joker asked.

'Down the hall, first turn on the right.' Oracle replied, causing Joker to lead the way down the path.

As they turned the corner they encounter an AK-130. It didn't get a chance to speak up before Joker thrust Lupin forward, stabbing it in a critical circuit and disabling the machine in a heartbeat.

They continued down the hallways at a brisk pace, neither going too fast that they'd miss any possible security or traps, nor too slow that they'd take longer than necessary. Along the way, they were met with a number of guards be they human or machine, understandable as this WAS a military facility. The guards may have been stationed at key points that would allow them to easily alert others or contact help in the event of an intruder, however it was clear the guards weren't really prepared for someone like them sneaking in as with some well placed ambushes and shots/stabs, the guards were knocked out and the machines disabled in short order. With each taken care of, the Phantom Thieves continued on without losing much of their pace.

Aside from having to deal with guards as quickly and as stealthily as possible, they also had to deal with a number of security doors, all apparently with a variety of codes...not that it was a big issue for Oracle as she quickly hacked into them or just used the access codes she'd stolen from Winter. As such, it wasn't long before they'd gained access to rather classified areas.

'Here!' Oracle called out, causing everyone to stop once they were rather deep in the base.

'This is the room?' Noir asked, wanting to reconfirm just in case.

'Yep.' Oracle said with a nod, and as if to further confirm it, she punched the code into the nearby keypad, soon opening the door, letting the Phantom Thieves file into the research room Project P.E.N.N.Y was located in.

'There- Er, she is.' Skull said looking forward towards the target of their heist.

In the center of the room was a glass pod, and inside was a nearly nude humanoid female with orange hair in a bob cut style, her decency protected only by a few strips of cloth. Surrounding the glass pod was a number of laser tripwires, no doubt set in case of attempts to steal her...like now.

'Well...' Joker said looking at Noir, 'Oracle disconnect her and get the data.'

'Thank you.' Noir whispered as she gave Joker a quick kiss on the lips as Oracle went to the nearby terminal and got to work, having to slip through some of the lasers slowly to get to the panel.

'Ugh, keep the lovey dovey stuff saved until after we steal Penny.' Mona groaned.

'Would this be considered stealing or kidnapping?' Fox mused.

'I dunno.' Skull said with a shrug and honestly...he didn't feel like thinking about it too hard.

Meanwhile, Oracle had managed to hack into the terminal, and after a few moments, as the security here was tighter than the previous areas, she eventually managed to disable the tripwires around Penny, before the cables disconnected from Penny's back, which proceeded to close up.

'Weird...' Oracle mused as she undid the clamps on Penny's containment pod, causing the inactive Penny to fall forward, with Joker, being the gentleman he is, caught her in his arms before throwing her over his shoulders, as he's the only one of the group that can effectively fight single handed.

Noir narrowed her eyes to Joker in jealousy, though only slightly as she understood why her boyfriend was holding the female android, 'What's weird Oracle?' She asked, focusing on something else.

'The only thing here on Penny is her activation code.' Oracle said, 'I've already transfer that to my Scroll, and deleted it from their servers... But that's it, there's no design plans, no coding, nothing.'

'Look's like Doctor Polendina didn't trust anyone but himself with Penny's documentations.' Fox mused. However, right as they were in the middle of that, the alarm came on.

'What?!' the group gasped in surprise, before Oracle who was still plugged in found out the cause.

'Damn! It was a double layer trap!' she gasped.

'What do you mean?' Panther asked worriedly.

'The tripwires were the first layer. The second layer was releasing Penny without authorization!' Oracle reported.

'Well, in that case I'd say we've definitely overstayed our welcome,' Fox frowned.

'You heard him, let's get out of here,' Joker nodded before they went out. Unsurprisingly, the first response to them were several AK-130s that were no doubt set to deploy in emergencies.

'I'm afraid we don't have time for you. Goemon!' Fox said as Goemon appeared and froze the AKs in the front solid.

'So get out of our way! Captain Kidd!' Skull agreed before Captain Kidd appeared and blasted them with a thunderbolt, causing many of them to short circuit, but more were coming.

'I don't think our escape route is gonna work like this,' Queen frowned.

'Then we'll have to break through the hard way. Queen?' Joker said.

'Got it! Charge, Johanna!' Queen shouted as Johanna appeared before she and Queen rammed through the gathered AKs, who barely had time to start shooting before they were mowed over.

'Rush them, Milady!' Noir followed up, summoning Milady who started gunning down the AKs who survived the initial charge.

'Zorro, show them your might!' Mona followed up, Zorro blasting the AKs with wind, knocking them all aside and completing the escape path for the group.

The frantic run continued as it wasn't long before they were met with several human guards...though Panther was quick to snag their weapons and then use them as a flail with her whip to knock them aside. Eventually…

'We're at ground level!' Oracle reported.

'Perfect. Fox, freeze a wall!' Joker ordered.

'Understood!' Fox nodded as a nearby wall was promptly frozen.

'Everyone, Physical or explosive skills!' Joker continued, to which everyone nodded and either hit the wall with physical skills or some spells with explosive aspects to them. The result was the wall blowing outward, triggering pretty much EVERY alarm in the base, while the Phantom Thieves got out of the hole, Mona quickly turning into a van, the group driving off into the snow.

Once they were a good distance away and they were sure nobody was tailing them...

'So... what are we gonna do with her?' Skull asked, 'She'll need a few changes because I'm pretty sure Ironwood and Winter will recognize her on the streets.'

'I can handle that, maybe with a bit of help from Panther.' Oracle said, pulling out her Scroll, 'Drive around the forest randomly until I can disable her tracking systems.'

[The next morning: Winter's Office]

'WHAT!?' Winter roared into her Scroll.

'It's as I said Specialist Schnee,' Ironwood said, though stepping back slightly, 'Somehow the Phantom Thieves managed to not only infiltrate one of our facilities, but they managed to steal... Kidnap... I don't even know the proper term... Either way Penny is gone, taken by the Phantom Thieves, and even when the security system was triggered, they managed to fight their way through.'

'That's impossible.' Winter sighed, 'How would they even hide Penny, she's got a tracking device implanted-'

'Disabled.' Ironwood said, 'The Thieves suspected she had such a program.'

'What about her hiccups?' Winter demanded, 'That's got to be our key to finding her.'

'Winter... If they found her tracking system they've likely disabled that lying detector.' Ironwood said, 'And we can't search by name, Winter I've run over the records and... I'm amazed at just how many people in Atlas alone have the name Penny.'

'Did we at least see what the thieves are capable of, or even what they look like?' Winter asked hopefully, knowing there were security cameras.

'...all the security cameras were disabled...though in retrospect it shouldn't be a surprise. They could hack the entire CCT...a single facility's security camera network shouldn't be difficult…' Ironwood groaned loudly.

THAT was the breaking point for Winter. 'A moment please General.' Winter said softly.

'Take an hour.' Ironwood said hanging up.

[Outside the Schnee Mansion]

'RRRRAAAAAAGGGHHHH!'

[[]]

Well folks, that's the chapter.

I hope to be able to work on this more often, but the next chapter is most likely going to have a time skip put in.

Anyway I'd like to ask you guys for a little help.

Recently I've begun considering giving Team's RWBY and JNPR Persona's of their own, but I am having trouble figuring them out, let me explain.

Find The Slot Control Terminal Persona 5

In the Persona series you can find similarities between the Persona and the User based on the Persona, you just have to look into the mythology/legends a bit.

As you can imagine, this is not an easy task.

I've only got three idea's that I have locked into confirmation.

Weiss, Blake, and Jaune's Persona's I already know, but I'd like some help from you all for the remaining people.

However I have read many Persona fics and I've seen several cop outs so I'd like to set up some ground rules at the moment.

1: These figures MUST come from Mythology/History/Legends, though I will accept classic literature in certain cases. I will NOT accept Persona's based on video game characters, T.V. characters or anime characters, because that just seems like the writer is just being lazy and not willing to do any form of research outside of sitting on your ass watching anime.

2: I would like for these Persona's to match the user's gender. (Yes I know Naoto's Persona was that of a male figures, however in, admittedly non-canon, Persona spin-off manga that takes place one year after Persona 4, in which Naoto's Persona transformed into a non-combative persona with a more feminine appearance to match Naoto now accepting her femininity... Thus meaning Naoto's persona only appeared male because she though of herself more as a male.)

3: Please P.M. me these idea's, that way I can not only go over these idea's with you, but to also avoid giving people false hope that _ will be _'s Persona.

And yes, Timeless, I will consider your idea, though it will be a last resort in case no one can really find a figure that would match that person better... And feel free to send me more ideas.

EDIT: People, in case you didn't read ALL of the above mentioned idea's I'd like to add one more tiny thing.

Can we please AVOID the suggestions of Nora, Ren, and Pyrrha having the Persona's Thor, Mulan, and Achilles respectively? Yes, I know these were the figures theses characters were BASED on, but this feels like a cop out using them. So look up and read the rules again people before you give ideas.
