Thanks for the replies! Yeah it's a bit of a headache, but I can get around it a couple of ways. I got an hdmi splitter on amazon that separates video from audio, and that works, but it's another link in the chain. I could also do the same as you and feed the audio from the 3.5mm headphone jack on the video monitor (which is actually a small tv), but then I'm relying on what is really a non critical piece of equipment and the wiring would be a pain. Probably best to get my bandmates on the ipad wagon, and host the sessions from my iPad.(I've never tried this, but I think it should work!)
