I have a mix that sounds perfectly balanced in my studio (read, with my amplifier and speakers) at live playing volume , but if I don't take my PA with me and use whatever PA the venue has, the mix sounds totally different and unbalanced there. Of course, this is not totally unexpected, but the question is how to compensate for the different speaker sound and the different acoustics of the place itself. I know some musicians use hardware graphic equalizers to compensate the difference in sound, but I don't have any graphic EQ, and moreover it would be one more thing to carry around, which I would rather avoid (being a solo act right now that strives to travel as light weight as possible).
Do you think I should use a software graphic EQ inserted in the Master Output of my DAW mixer to try to compensate the sound at the time of sound checking?... Are there other solutions? .. Any experiences that you can share about this problem?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice (even if you don't use to do live gigs).
