Does anybody EQ their monitors?

[CrowsofFritz]

This doesn't have to be strictly mastering related. Some guy made a comment over the internet and said "show me an engineer who doesn't EQ his monitors and I'll show you a terrible engineer."

I don't know anything about that, so I didn't address it. Is this guy talking out of his bum, or do people really EQ their monitors? I can't believe that is so. Isn't the frequency response what makes monitors special?

If it's a live situation then no he isn't talking out his bum.
In the studio yes he would be talking out his bum. For the monitors are tuned flat as possible, and any EQing would be done within any single track.

I thought so. He said something along the lines of, "if you EQ Beats headphones, they're really good! But what do I know, I'm only an engineer with 4 credited albums, blah, blah, blah."


I actually asked him how he EQ'd his Beats and he never responded.

[moresound]

He musta EQed you out.

Where was this conversation?

[CrowsofFritz]

It was on Reddit.com

I can probably link that specific conversation to you if you would like.


I really need to get off that site. It's full of snobs!

Forum raid time?

I don't eq my monitors, I eq my room. At least I try to. Someday I'm going to measure it for real.

Forum raid time?

Nah, it's not a forum. You can't raid Reddit, unfortunately. They have over 2,000,000 users and a voting system. Anything dumb we try to do actually gets shot down.




WAIT! There can be a sort of raid, and I will enjoy the hell out of it. So here is reddit. reddit: the front page of the internet


As you can see, there are posts and comments. There is a voting system called karma. Upvotes are good. Downvotes are bad. The redditors care so much for these fucking internet points! The posts I don't mind, but the comments are stupid, almost always. Now, most Redditors (as they aptly name themselves) have normal accounts. e.g. - I'm_a_Redditor

There are some Redditors that have what they call, "novelty accounts." e.g. - I_paint_your_comment. And that account usually paints a picture of the comment it replied to. Everybody loves accounts like that. They're like fucking kids laughing at peek-a-boo to accounts like those.


Now, there are other novelty accounts such as "Just_Repeats_You." I don't think I need to explain what that novelty account does. Everyone absolutely hates that account, and I love it because it makes everyone angry. People literally comment, "dude, I see you everywhere. Fucking stop!"


I love it!


Here's where the possibility of a raid kicks in. I told you about a voting system. We can never get by with posts, as they will just vote us down and it will never make the front page. But we can get by with comments! We could create an account called, say, Internet_Tough_Guy1 and 2 and we could comment on the top comment and call them names. We would get downvoted to hell but because we commented on the top comment, they can't hide us! Can ya think of other novelties?





Additional information - There have recently been a whole army of accounts that post pictures of buttholes saying "Don't click the picture below. It's a picture of my Butthole! Tee hee!" Redditors hate that the most, but unfortunately, that will get us a quick ban ticket.
