As a veteran audio engineer for live events with over 30 years of experience, I appreciate the way you've organized and explained the concepts in this video. Well done.
I’ve been a sound engineer in a club for about 3 months now, and I had to figure out a lot of stuff for myself. People complimented me that I could make the band pleasant to listen to at live concerts, because I naturally can hear and understand what has to be tuned volume-wise. That said, EQ has been my bane, and I had to randomly mess with it, until the problem went away. This video really helped me to add structure to what I already knew and also taught me a bunch of things. Thank you for making this!
I've been a live sound engineer for 33 yrs. I too started on my parents console stereo. At a young age I found a Sunn P.A. Eight mixer at a garage sale for $5. And also bought a couple homemade gray fuzzy 12" pa speakers with piezo tweeters for $10 at the same garage sale. I already had a Radio Shack High-Ball microphone 🎤.... The Sunn mixer had high and low rotary eqs on each channel, and a 7 band built in graphic for the mains. Thats where my relationship with eq began. I sat with that little rig for months and months working out signal flow and eq. To me that little $15 PA felt like flying a space ship. Eventually that little mixer died and I got a Peavey Mark III 12 ch... which was awesome! I still have it in fact. Not long after that I found out a guy in my neighborhood owned a sound company. He used to pay me $20 to help load his truck before gigs. Then I started going to gigs. He was an old Showco guy, and had an old Showco system called the "Hurler" rig. It was a gigantic modular ground stacked PA (Led Zeppelins old PA in fact)... I learned a lot about crossovers and system processing then, and how to use more advanced graphic and parametric eqs
Great video, lots of valuable information and strategies. But the proper term you should have used is Dynamic EQ instead of Active EQ which is basically a multiband frequency-dependent compressor. The term Active EQ is what Mc DSP calls their AR 600 Dynamic EQ plugin. Cheers, Perry.

One of the best videos I’ve seen and that is after 45 years of mixing live sound! Great job. Wish everybody saw this!!
Great video Paul, would love to see more!
Your channel is priceless, Thanks man. I supported your channel.

Great Explanation, Thankyou Paul 😎
Great video
Make a video of you eq-ing and just talking about it
Good info n advice.... TQ
Very interesting video with a well organised story.
Next: gain staging? ;-)
YES!!!
Thanks for the video. Do you recommend any analogue & digital EQ gear for beginners?
Well done 👏
Thanks!
Great
0:05 my grandmother have a stereo system like that my uncle was playing it like a scratch turntable and he broke it
I'm looking for a good system processor that compliments an Allen & Heath SQ board. Any recommendations?
The Lake processors are the ones all my buddies like the best. If possible start there.
@paperstreetaudiocompany what line of speakers would you recommend for this combo of allen & heath Sq board with the lake processor?
