As a sax player in a loud springsteeny/Americana type band my advice before getting to gear is NEVER ASSUME THE SOUND GUY UNDERSTANDS OR GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE SAX! I Use a Roland ve20, a cheap clip on mic (don't spend more than 75 dollars), a mini headphone thru box and some big old fashioned phones - the bigger the better for weight as in-ear things with thin leads will fly out if snagged. Just tell the sound guy to stick his end (ooer! ) into the behringer and you're off. You can now add a bit of reverb etc, and get your volume in your phones. To hear more of the band just take one side phones off. Before I reached this light and effective solution I tried lots of stuff. Be prepared or you may find the sound man has run out of mics/time and the singer wants u quieter (read Off) in the fold back!
My sax setup is already loud as hell “Dukoff Miami D7” tenor and the damn sound guy always turns down my mic mid gig and it pisses me off cause I can barely hear myself anymore. You’re absolutely right that no matter how loud I am the drummer and guitars always turn their shit way up. Drives me nuts bro.
Man I wish I had this video way earlier haha. I play with a guitar,drummer,piano/organist and full choir. I could never hear myself with my mic so I bought a mouth cannon so I can hear myself. Yes I could kinda hear myself but the speakers from above was blasting louder to the audience so now I'm overblowning and sticking out like a sore thumb No solution was solved haha

Well said my friend. LOL!
"Cheeky devil" 🤣 nice English accent Adriene
Nice idea thank you..
Check out the Ploeger Sound Mirror. I don't think they make it anymore but there might be a similar product.
Jazzlab make a Sound Deflector. It's amazing, and is around $35 bucks.

I play Dukoff 8* on alto. I always play quieter until the solos.
Lol

Any in-ear monitor mixer would do the job. Behringer got super cheap one that does the job perfectly.
This is assuming you don't have access to this type of equipment
How to hear then i practice?
Do some audio samples
My brother, can you please write a list out of these devices for me! Please please. Thank you in advance
