Q. Hi, upon preping for a sound check what obvious eq (grafic and parametric), compresser and gate settings should I adjust to make the sound check proceed at a faster rate?
A. Hi, for me this depends on the gig. If I am setting the system I like the desk zeroed and graphics flat.
I ike the fx and dynamics to be patched in but not set and the first thing I do is to run a line check to make sure everything is where it should be and working.
Obviously if time is tight or you are not the headliner I will roughly set comps and gates roughly eq everything, top cuts on voxes, oheads and hi hat, lo mid out of kick etc.
Always unwise to do too much until you have heard the system and band.
Providing everything is working and the room doesn't sound too bad it shouldn't take long to get a mix up.
Hope this helps! Andy @ FTTS
