I think we can all agree that our goal is to make sure our mix sounds great in every seat. The nosebleeds should sound as every bit as good as FOH.
Where we might differ is what tonality should be represented in every seat.
Is the PA flat? A low end bump? How much hotter are the subs vs the mains? High end rolloff?
Today I share with you my tried and true target trace (something I borrowed from my good friend and colleague Michael Lawrence, who borrowed it from Dennie Miller, another phenomenal SE).
We cover:
- How target traces serve as your tonal guide
- How to EQ a speaker to your desired target trace
- What does success look like for your system’s tonality

As mainly a studio guy who mixes the occasional live show (but has also built mix rooms and dealt with smaller room energy-time-frequency issues), I'm still trying to wrap my head around that +15 on the bottom end of the target curve. Really!? +2 to a +4 maybe, but +15! Whew. What am I missing here? Maybe you can point me to an earlier video that explains the rationale for this huge LF bump...

I find that most people used to studio settings or near-fields tend to not be a fan of the live low end sound. In my current situation I have to tame the low end more than I am used to doing live due to those I am working for and their preferences, but also so my stream mix sounds fairly accurate to the house.

Think of this as a suggested starting point for voicing a PA for live pop/rock music. It is not necessarily where you'd want to start if your day consisted of acoustic folk musical acts. And the low frequency hump might be too small if your PA was being used for hip hop or an EDM show. Something else I've noticed is that pop music recordings often have a low frequency tilt already, so what sounds good with pre-show music may sound a bit thin for live drums and bass guitars. YMMV of course :)

If you compare dbA and dbC measurements during a live concert. It wil be a difference around 12db. Thats why I use 12db in my target trace.

Yeah. It's like the Harman target but even worse. Disgusting lol

Same. Studio guy that went to live sound, and I totally don't get this 15db boost. I'm also a huge bass head, but it needs to be clean and punchy. I'm theorizing it has something to do with the way we perceive frequencies and how much more lowend is needed to compensate for mid range and top end, for everything to sound balanced. Any room I've ever done sound in, I always have to cut low end to compensate for room.

Ahhah that’s crazy. 😂😂 I was thinking on how to start with it. And that video just popped up on my phone. Thanks Michael

Thanks Michael. That was so Important Information. This was what I was missing, to tune System. Such an Important Video! THANKS A LOT MY MAN!
