Topic: RE - EQ Question?

[CQBert]

It's Sat Night.... baby is asleep and mommy is out with the girls... just me and the dogs (and a cold Abbey Double fresh from the taps at Rams Head Tavern) for a while...  I am pondering the RE-Eq question...

I am only able to get out to a 2, maybe 3 shows a month depending on location with the family and I have more time at home to process things than I have in the past.  The vast majority of my shows come from one of 2 or 3 venues and I know almost instantly weather or not it is "mixed well'...  I have recently begun to tinker with some of my more recent recordings in an effort to "correct" the original mix... most often it is a preponderance of bass, though sometimes it is too much high symbol...   

It is a lot of work to sit here and go through the process over and over to 'get it right' for my ears but I have come to enjoy it...

A big +T to Sleepypedro who has posted much of my stuff and when he does it is totally raw... I do this for myself...

I am curious to hear the thoughts of others out there....

Thanks - as I sit here and work on a Bob Schneider show...

Pretty much what I was thinking...

I always keep untouched masters archived...  I monkey around from time to time for my own fun...

I have/will not post my re-eq efforts unless requested...

Listen to everything on your home setup and just learn how it sounds over the period of at least a few months.  If you know how albums are supposed to sound, it gives you a better baseline to shoot for.  Practice on your shows for your own usage and maybe ask the opinion of a fellow friend which mix he likes better.
