First make doubly sure your audio monitors are set correctly.

You are right Grazie, have to check that too.

It is an outdoor concert, got the skin-tones right this time :), but I think it is difficult to get good sound of an outdoor concert, even if I have everything including sound on manual.

Will ask for a feed from the mixer next time to go into my Zoom H4N and sync it up afterwards and mix it with the live sound, I think.

Seems like Graphic EQ is just what's called for.

Hi Ulf,

I think a graphic EQ is the wrong tool for your purposes Ulf.

Graphic EQ's are mostly for cleaning up feedback. From what you wrote in your post it seems to me that you want to make a simple adjustment to increase the treble and reduce the bass.in your video clip.

A regular console EQ, or perhaps a parametric EQ, set to wide band response, is best for tone shaping. It will give you a broad adjustment and just a little will go a long way.

It will give you what you want much better than a graphic EQ.

When you use a graphic EQ for broad strokes of frequency adjustments you can get little peaks and valleys of frequencies in your adjustments.

Try a Parametric EQ. You will like it, and will not be disappointed.

Ulf, upload a 2-3 minute sample of your original audio somewhere and let us have a listen. People with professional experience will be glad to offer you some starting points, although as you have found out, outdoor events are tough to work with.

There is a mode in the graphic EQ that draws a continuous line through the spectrum and then allows you to tug a well chosen number of points up and down. There's no need to control 30 bands individually. This makes it as smoothly controllable as paragraphic, with the added ability of the detailed control of graphic EQ all mixed into one plugin.

How about the Track EQ that is on the audio track(s) by default ? Easy-peasy to diddle with and thereby learn how to do what you want to do.

ulf, do as musicvid suggests and post a short sample.....

i did so some time ago (mobile breakthrough on a voice track) and was astounded with not only the help i got, but also the introduction to rxisotope (which is a must have).
