Thanks for the link. -tres interessant. I especially like Sergei's explanations.
About hearing yourself without / before any processing, then you have at least confirmation that unprocessed audio's gotten that far, but not what your putting out on the air.
So how do you set all your EQ, compression, downward or whatever for pleasing or efficient contest freq. spread, etc. ?
You've got me sort of in a logic loop.
Um, that doesn't take much.
