[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 98820, member: 24"] Re: Parametric EQ settings for Peavey SP2G Back when by ear was my only choice, I tended to sneak up on a semipermanent eq curve. Start flat, do a couple shows where you eq as needed, then start to look for changes you are consistently making. Transfer those changes into the settings you are saving. Over a series of shows you will probably find 4 or 5 changes to become your curve. It also helps to use pink noise, swept sine, and music as source signals. I liked to rotate through all of them, once again listening for things that consistently jump out between sources. Another technique I tend to use is "bracketing" (yes I stole this from my days in the army doing call for fire). Lets say you are at unity gain and you feel you need a slight boost. I would start with a 6 db boost knowing that it is too much, but I want it to be enough to clearly hear a change. So this is too much, so I would go back to +1.5, on target or too little? If it is too little my next boost would be to +4.5 db. Then, if that is still too much, try +3db. You are constantly reducing the bracket while still making changes that are large enough to hear.
