Do you think its normal for FOH soundguys to Eq your signal wildly?
I usually let them do their job, unless i hear something really weird. I then ask to see how they eq'd my guitar signal and sure enough there is some wild cuts and notches.
It is a bit funny when you think how we tweak advanced parameters in amp block to get these subtle details we want. And then the soundguy eqs the hell out of it and throws a compressor on it.
I usually have low cut around 110Hz already, but most every soundguy does a huge low cut on a guitar signal anyways.
I understand that room and PA system can impact the sound and sometimes it requires some adjustment.
But it seems to me that some soundguys start equing by default without even listening.
So my question is how do you deal with these situations?
Let them do what they want or ask thm to leave the eq flat?
