Morten,
Yes, I adj. for each singer and every song. Once I have the graphic EQ set I'm sure that I'll leave it alone and make make adjustments by ear, (as opposed to giving a rock song the "rock treatment", (more bass), and giving giving disco the "disco treatment").
I have the DK millinium library, and have found that most tracks don't require indivdual adjustments however...
Some tracks do need some adjusting. Some need to have the tone adjusted, and some need to have a level adj. I have found that it is more common to have an odd track that needs to have the level boosted rather than cut, but there are some tracks that need to be turned down a bit.
When it comesw to adjusting the singer, I generally leave the high paramectric EQ alone and cut the low EQ to remove "boomyness" for low voiced singers, and then boost the mid raqnge to add some life to his voice. I do the opposite for "screachey voiced females", (and for some males). I turn down the midrange to remove the screach, and then I turn up the low EQ to add depth and warmth. Armed with this knowledge you'll be able to adjust for voice so easily that everyone will be amazed at how good you are at adjusting for voice.

Due to my health situation, I'm not in a big hurry to return to doing shows but I would like to do one for the new owners of the resturant that I was doing shows at on New Years. I may do a freebe for the local Moose Lodge just to test my stuff before doing a show, but It's not really nessasary.

For anyone following this thread, my system now consists of:

2 Carvin 832 400 watt, 2-way loud speakers with 15" drivers
2 200 watt, floor monitors
2 Carvin speaker stands
