Now it's time for us to all guess why it is so!

I think hearing loss!

I heard of this happening on a Broadway show in New York.
An old hand at mixing Broadway got a burr up his ass and "left without notice".

When someone went to the FOH board they found a note telling them to...

Well… some vulgar language and they shouldn't expect him tonight.
LOL

I only wish that was the reason. And no this wasnt me or anyone else putting a funky EQ curve on something and then splitting. This is from a  designer who thinks he knows more than any of our SIM ninjas. He is from a small country in Europe but that has no bearing on anything other than to say he is not one of our local US designers.

As far as how the channel eq looked.
I thing some of us would be suprised at what our "analog" ch. eq's looked like if we had a visual graph for them.

Some of the best advice I ever got was to not look at that display on a digital console while your are tweaking.  Listen like you would with a analog console.

I have a artist I work with and the upright bass eq looks pretty whacked for his pickups but if I didn't do that it sounded like crap.  That is what you get from a cheap upright with cheap pickups.

I am not saying this guy knows what is going on but don't be so quick to jump on the "what the crap" bandwagon.

sincerely,

I would grant you that Dan, but not in this case, if that was the case here then out of the 60 scenes in the show they would all look like this but they dont this was just one of the better looking  EQs, and the sound?? Well 4 out 5 engineers here agree it is the worst sounding bass in the world.

Steve,
I'm with Dan.
we know nothing about the show, know nothing about the musician, know nothing about the pa, know nothing about the location...  Confused
you know sonthing more than us becouse you were there, but still you (probably) know very little about the show and the technical needs of the designer...
I mean, you are saying the sound of the bass was bad... What about the bass player desire? what about the sound of the SHOW? What about the artistic producer desire?  Shocked

Sorry for the rant, but this kind of topic recalls me of the bad attitude I call "mother-in-law gossip"... simply useless.
