Re: EQ sweepingYou're pretty much taking the mid range grunt out of everything and leaving a lot of boom, sizzle and midrange harshness. There's multiple ways to address muddy stages, but I wouldn't go about sacrificing my FOH mix to clean up the monitors. I usually find the most issues down lower, around 160-300hz. That 500-800hz ranges serves a pretty important roll in a lot of instruments, and I really don't want to lose it out front. And ironically, I usually cut quite a bit of 500hz out of my vocals, especially if they're using a 58. The 10k rolloff on OH's and Hat seems a bit extreme too, as a lot of MI speakers really won't do much above 10k- I'd suggest a roll off around 500hz, and a few cuts as needed along the way to clean them up.Once you get rid of the annoying stuff down low, you'd be surprised how nice the mid range sounds!Evan
