General EQ Setting Suggestions

5.4.4
Included with your StudioLive is a library of Channel Strip presets. Section 3.8.3 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 4.2.4, the right EQ setting for any given instrument will depend
upon the room and the tonality of the instrument.
