Well I can certainly tell that you should not be the one trying to guide her with your thouroghly confused misunderstanding of EQs. Get the Yamaha sound book and start reading - seriously. Sean

The male Italian version is spelled "DanieLe" -> with only 1 L !!! The OP�s name is "DanieLLe" with 2 L -> rather a typical French female name It seems, you know as much about Italian and French prename spelling, as about headroom...

I don't see how the >> original question would be so urgent as to require a debate via >> email. Me neither. To me it rather seemed as a question out of general interest with absolutely no sign of "aaaaaaaargh, I need to mix a gig in 2 days and don�t know what to do!!! can somebody please help me as quick as possible?!" > That would depend on Danielle's urgency in solving her problem. I > notice that she has not reposted here since the weekend, indicating > that this must be a sufficiently urgent concern for her. Oh, you understand that it�s obviously not very urgent. Fine! What I still don�t understand is your logic, why a community of seasoned live sound professionals, that have posted here for several years and are reknowned for their work and knowledge, should *not* be a better resource for information, than a single person via email. The reaction in a NG, where several people can answer, might be well quicker... Sorry, but to me it just seems like you don�t even notice, how contradictory your assumptions and assertions actually are. Sometimes, and that is usually *very* often, is just the best to stick to the most basic logic and build up from there. ;-)

No, it seems that I'm totally blind, use a screen reader and sometimes encounter words that are not pronounced as they are spelled. I studied both French and Italian for years and speak them fluently, which has little to do with orthography in my case. Orlando |
