When I taught at a college in AZ, I had to fire our sound engineer. He was very lazy about EQ which meant my jazz choir would work on a show for 6 weeks and see it destroyed by his malfeasance. One of his worst mistakes was to EQ through his headphones instead of EQ through the house. We would sound great in his stereo headset but lousy in house. So your article is well appreciated. Same goes with compression. I do audio recordings of my voice students using a small sound board which does not have compression. My next purchase will be a soundboard with compression!
This has been an education for me, I appreciate it. Its amazing how much we take for granted and how the ear has an instictive way of knowing what sounds right.
