[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 35347, member: 441"] Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems. As much as I respect your opinion and knowledge of audio I still think the FOH person should be allowed to mix however he wants without systems people saying THIS is the way you SHOULD do it. As long as he/she isn't breaking anything, right? Ah, the real world: What if that screaming vocal is needed in the monitors that are run from FOH and there is no EQ instrted on the vocals buss? FOH dude has to do SOMETHING to not burn the audience's ears - one way is to tame the vocals with the FOH graphic and just add that range with channel strip EQ on the instruments that end up lacking 4 kHz. Just saying that there are several legitimate "roads to salvation" - even if I generally try to mix the way you suggest here. It seems to me that if we are using the logic that the sound system response should be flat and the mixerperson is "doing it wrong" if the mix needs a adjusted FOH graphic to sound right, then we are saying that all the major movie studios are "doing it wrong" because their mix doesn't sound right on a flat system. Do you see what I mean? Which is what I'm saying also. If it sounds good and doesn't break anything I kinda don't care how the mixerdude got there. :) [/QUOTE]
