Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ  in full range systems.




I see the beauty of handing someone a white canvas.  But you know how some people use grey projection screens to help make the black level of the image really black?  Kinda the same thing, it's just an EQ to compensate for any number of phenomenons.  If whoever mixing likes to start with an "off-white canvas" to precolor everything just a little bit -and chooses to mix in extra white in thoose sections that don't need the offwhite precoloring - who's to say they're wrong?  In my opinion it's just another technique for an artist to use.  But it needs to be the artist who chooses the canvas - not some random person.


I can think of an example in lighting also:  Many light techs are so used to how the bulbs of PAR cans add color "contamination" to colored filter gels that when they use true white discharge lights to actually get them the color that the filters have - they don't like it and have to add color in other ways to get to the "inncorrect" color they usually use.
