Re: BEs and System DSP
You can never guard your self from running into idiots. In general I would say that the BE should have access to the Input of the processor (Over all EQ, ability to provide different mixes/inputs if wanted) anything on the output side should be handled by the Systech (Alignment, zoning,polarity, System EQ, Limiters etc). It should be a corporation to get the best sound possible for the audience, can't understand why its so hard for people to understand.
WHat part of "your" BE Ego, is rampaged, that you can't High pass the Vocals a little higher (now that your in a reverberant concrete hall) than yesterday, and how can it be a argument to get the systech to turn down the +15db haystacked subs, for the jazz trio.....etc
As for volume (overall level) we have laws in most EU countries that triumphs any ego (so as long as you provide enough PA to meet the limit, and can document what the level is, its not your "problem" (you will take the heat for it though 
)
