Fixed a live mix that was screaming like a cat in a microwave

Spent two hours today untangling a church sound system where the kick drum and vocals were fighting to the death. Turned out the EQ on channel 7 had been set to 'scream' by someone who thought 'more presence' meant 'hysteria'. I muted it, dialed back the midrange, and suddenly the whole thing breathed. The pastor said, 'It’s like the sermon finally got through.' I didn’t tell him I’d just un-screamed the entire room.
