“myMix was a great solution to my studio monitoring problem. It was easy to set up, has a user friendly operating system and sounds great.”
– Jeff Lorber

Jeff Lorber is a Grammy Award Winning keyboardist, composer, record producer who won his first Grammy Award on Jan. 28, 2018 for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for Prototype by his band The Jeff Lorber Fusion.

His first group, The Jeff Lorber Fusion, released their self-titled debut album The Jeff Lorber Fusion in 1977 on Inner City Records. Supported by a revolving cast of musicians, including drummer Dennis Bradford, he recorded five studio albums under this moniker. These early albums showcased a funky sound influenced by other jazz fusion practitioners such as Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, and Return to Forever, the latter’s Chick Corea appearing on several songs. Like his contemporaries, Lorber performed on multiple keyboard instruments, including piano, Rhodes piano, and analog synthesizers, often favoring the Minimoog and Sequential Circuits Prophet 5.

Chris Minh Doky – Bassist, composer & bandleader

“When I hear better, I play better.“

CChris Minh Doky’s evolution as a bassist is seen by how he moved from being the rhythmic ballast of a piece to the center of the piece. Electric or acoustic, Chris’ music a range of musical genres. While his early performances were in his home country of Denmark, it was his move to New York that solidified his role as an exceptional musician. Doky has been the bassist in famed guitarist’ Mike Stern’s band and shared the stage with names such as Brecker, Scofield, Sanborn, or others. One constant – his myMix personal monitoring systems is a critical piece of his rig used to help ensure Chris delivers a memorable performance – every time.

“What immediately struck me about the myMix was its simplicity — the fact that it can function on its own without a console but that it’s also really easy to hook up with any console if you need to. It’s plug and go. The myMix is also intuitive because it allows you to save your settings, so I can use it with the several different bands that I gig with and everyone in those bands can have their own settings and be up and running right away. You don’t have to start from scratch every time, and that’s very important to me.”.

Chris Minh Doky

During his rigorous schedule of solo performances and lectures, Doky uses the myMix as a mixer for his backing tracks and mixing in his bass signals.

A lot of times when I travel I do so without a sound engineer, so it can get complicated and sonically tough. Occasionally, you’re lucky and there’s a good FOH guy, but you can’t count on that.

With myMix, Doky doesn’t have to worry about the sound tech’s expertise. Once he gets to a venue, he uses the SD card with his backtracks and plugs his wireless head mic into one input and his bass into the other. Depending on the venue’s size, Doky runs the L/R out to FOH and a monitor wedge, or splits the outputs so he can run to both FOH and an amp on stage.

I rarely use in-ear monitors in these situations because I need to interact constantly with the audience. I love this setup because I have such a small portable rig that makes it possible for me to get in, setup and be up and running in less than three minutes — not to mention break down time. All of sudden I can now travel for my solos gigs and lectures with just my bass and the myMix.

During live performances alongside his band Chris Minh Doky & The Electric Nomads and his European acoustic trio New Nordic Jazz, he uses the myMix as a monitor and mixer. No matter what genre of music Doky is playing or what the volume level, he knows the myMix will accommodate.

The Electric Nomads is mostly instrumental, but it’s funk and rock oriented so we play loud and large venues. On the flip side, New Nordic Jazz is quieter, more classical and jazzy and the myMix can adapt to both.

The Ideal Band Setup

When The Electric Nomads first incorporated the myMix into their setup in 2012, the whole band was on wedges. Doky and his band mates ran outputs from their myMix to monitor amps, eventually switching to in-ears and using the headphones output.

“Then we got a x32 Rack as our stage box,” Doky explained. “Our sound tech groups each instrument to the analog outputs to the IEX inputs. Today, I want to be free of the wires from my in-ears to the myMix. It’s nice not having all these wires dangling off of me. I’m a bandleader, so I’m talking on the mic and fronting all the time. When I found out with the myMix RX-2 that you could actually do the same thing and just send the output off stage, that made it a no-brainer for me.”

Since I started using the myMix five years ago, my equipment hasn’t broken down, and I haven’t needed to buy anything else. When you get the setup that’s it, it’s durable, high-quality and comes with everything you need.

Doky remains a strong player on the international jazz stage, but years ago his unique solo performances captured the ears and hearts of the pop & classical music world. Common for all the music he does is how Doky expresses himself with the bass as the solo instrument with a direct link to the Danish bass tradition. By bringing his heart and soul into each new challenge, Doky has emerged as one of the most compelling musicians of our time. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark knighted Doky in 2010 for his contributions to the arts, making him a distinguished member of the Royal Order of the Dannebrog.

Regarding the myMix monitoring system Chris shares, “myMix has been a life-(ear!) saver and an eye-opener for me. After too many years of touring with too many shows with horrible & loud monitor sound, I developed hearing damage on both ears. I needed to seriously protect my ears and search for the smallest, easiest, and most customizable setup, possible. Something I could travel with as both a bandleader with my crew and tech and a sideman on my own. MyMix was my answer and has been for years.
Chris’ secret – along with hard work – is his passion for making an emotional and physical experience of the melody he plays. To ensure he delivers his best performance he turns to myMix because (as Chris says), “when I hear better, I play better.”

myMix Live Sound Testimonial

Don Moen

After three world tours, the myMix system is still working perfectly.
I wouldn’t tour with any other system.

Don Moen

I’ve used virtually every in ear monitoring system available on my tours for the past 15 years and was pleasantly surprised when I used myMix for the first time.

myMix is durable, (surviving grueling world tours) very user friendly, sonically amazing (my band would all agree) and best of all … it’s affordable!

Before you make a decision to purchase an in ear monitoring system, you owe it to yourself to check out myMix. I had already decided to invest in another well known system and was skeptical when my sound engineer suggested I try myMix.

After trying it at a rehearsal (and being prepared to hate it!) I fell in love with the simplicity and the sound of the myMix system. My band (also a bunch of skeptics) felt the same way.

When I saw the price tag, it took me about 30 seconds to make the decision to purchase the myMix system! After three world tours, the myMix system is still working perfectly. I wouldn’t tour with any other system.
