[QUOTE="Peter Etheredge, post: 55980, member: 58"] Re: Would you rather have graphs for mixing wedges or PEQ's on a large screen like th When it comes to monitors give me a nice rack full for GEQ's with 45mm faders. Don't get me wrong - as an install systems designer I love what you can do with a Soundweb and London Architect. However, as someone with many hours behind a monitor console as well I'll always take the GEQ's in this application due to the nature of muso's and the stupid loudness at which some want their wedges. Even in a great venue with great equipment I see mixing monitors as combat audio when working with a band that apparently doesn't care about hearing loss, and there are a great many like that as I'm sure we can all attest. You're often on the ragged edge of feedback and the second there's even the slightest ring I want to hack away before it goes off on me. The great thing about monitor EQ is that even if it sounds like total shit to you and every other human on earth as long as the muso is happy it doesn't matter because that is the only person hearing it so I couldn't give two shits as far as how it sounds. So another vote for the GEQ's. [/QUOTE]
