[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 97279, member: 24"] Art, For the most part they have no explanation. I think they are operating under the combined ideas that if they have a control that control needs to be used, and they have set the sound by ear but have also gotten used to the sound they set. The idea of phase is not a practical reality to these folks. I think part of the reason the idea of aux fed subs got so big so fast on small systems is because many operators used it as a way around setting up a sub/main crossover. It is not uncommon to see "do not touch the eq's" signs in these places and as a BE knowing more then your host does not mean you can do what you want with their setup. Sometimes anything other than changing levels involves extensive negotiation. Their have been a number of times with bluegrass bands, I have made a system that vocally sounded like it had a blanket over the speakers come alive by simply discreetly hitting bypass on graphics and comps slapped across the main mix and just having decent gain structure through the board. So I guess the fundamental reason they would have to give is "someone showed me that way when I didn't understand it, and since I still don't understand, I still do it that way." [/QUOTE]
