Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems.
The client asserts the settings were original, has the power to insure that is the case, and could easily pick you out of a lineup. I wouldn't make such a specific assertion flippantly.
At any rate I was trying to agree with you in the thread, while pointing out I do things differently. I feel it was Art who was trying to pull this into an me vs. you situation, and I'm not having that.
That was my point, not to disparage your work. There was absolutely nothing "wrong" with the original tuning. I was brought in to address specific complaints from, unspecified to me, members of the congregation (and probably staff) and that is what we resolved. These were complaints that grew over time and familiarity with the space, not immediate "day one" issues.
I was, evidently, the first person they talked to who didn't think that the system need pulled out and replaced by (flavor x). The reality was the system was integrated well, and that allowed me to play some fancier tricks than what were already in place.
It should be noted that I am neither in the "ruler flat" nor "gentle downward slope" system tuning camps. I've got my own ideas, and those lie somewhere in-between the two broad schools of thought.
