8.3.3 General EQ Suggestions

Included with your StudioLive is a library of Channel Strip presets. Section
4.1.6 discusses how to load these presets onto a channel or bus and how
to create your own presets. For an idea of where to start, check out the
following generic EQ settings for several different instruments. As with the
compression settings in Section 8.2.3, the right EQ setting for any given
instrument will depend upon the room and the tonality of the instrument.
