Do you have a mic you use to measure and feedback, or just do it by ear?
I think that depends on what you want to achieve - a mic will help analyse what's going on in terms of quantified numbers but if you just want to tame the highs a bit, then fiddling and using your ears will work. After all, your ears are what you're trying to please here - no point it being 'flat' and sounding shite because the room timing is weird or you're used to a specific eq curve etc.
Yeah, true. Normally I'd just fiddle until I like how it sounds, but there is a whole powerful suite of room correction and auto tuning cross-overs that would be great to tap into. Might get one, fiddle around then see if I can borrow a mic of a studio guy I know.
