Sending it out to the house: EQ then compressor or vice versa?

I've always been confused about this one. Any advice? If you're talking about a 'sound reinforcement' application... then you're talking about both shaping the sound, and system protection. From the perspective of 'shaping the sound', you probably want to EQ then compress... if you're talking about system protection... then you want a peak limiter at the end of the chain to prevent spikes that are enhanced in level by the EQ from turning into a 'catastrophic failure' kind of thing. Best of luck with it. -- Fletcher Mercenary Audio TEL: 508-543-0069 FAX: 508-543-9670 http://www.mercenary.com "this is not a problem" |

I usually use compression then EQ. Think about it. As an example, if you are
boosting lower frequencies on your EQ and your compressor is after it in the chain. Isn't your compressor compressing the boost in gain of your signal from the EQ? For live sound I would not do this. Recording would be a different story. jason Web: www.mudstonemusic.com E-mail: |
