Ultimately audio is still art, and taste/tailoring/experimentation is required in the application of any method.Ģ. So for live EQ correction, I would recommend some moderation, or an alternative thought process be adopted as IMHO, EQ alone will not correct long reverberation reflections, but could effectively resolve the speaker corrections. As some of you have already mentioned on this thread - with EQ - sometimes less is more, and if I may conclude on this point, attempting to correct long reverberation reflections with EQ alone, in my opinion is counterproductive, as it causes you to create excessive EQ compensation, which is unpleasant to listeners near the speakers. ![]() I however caution that over time, I have discovered aspects of this approach that will need modification, for effectiveness. This habit started a few years earlier, at other venues, but the aforementioned was my most significant application. I also applied graphic EQ's to the foldback - stage mixes, and at the time, this did make a huge difference in clarity at the venue where I did this, over several months - tuning purely by ear and using lots of hours to listen to tracks I knew well. Many years ago, as a live mixing engineer I got into the habit and belief that I could correct speaker and in particular, the anomalies of a room, using graphic EQ on the main mix, and/or attenuating the most significant resonances via channel EQ, especially iin the low end. The results were so spectacular, this is my way of giving back to the wonderful people who have made Reaper and other top class tools for this purpose, available, many of them for free. I obtained really great results and thought it good to share. Problem : to improve the sonics in your studio/listening environment, by "tuning" the speaker and room. This is a long read, but it may just have a really good solution to your challenge. I apologise ahead, as I am not the most concise of writers.
