[QUOTE="Rob Dellwood, post: 92699, member: 498"] Re: EQ sweeping Not sure what the context is here. Was the band talking about the FOH mains, or were you working on the monitors at the time? My guess would be monitors, and someone was trying to guess the frequency they didn't like in their wedge. He may have believed there was a problem around 600. As a sound guy, I sometimes get musicians trying to tell me the frequency they think is bad. Sometimes they are close, sometimes not. In a festival situation, you would normally have the monitors already set and dialed in to sound good. After that, major changes would normally not be done. As others have posted, 'sweeping' means starting at a certain frequency, boosting or cutting it, and then moving the frequency up / down near the starting point until you find the desired frequency that sounds best when cut or boosted.
