One of the venues we have in my town used to be a train station (it's called The Depot). The hall where they have bands has 2 things going wrong for them: The stage is off center, and the walls have tile about five feet up from the ground all around the room with pretty much nothing up for dampening. I've tried to mention to them before that maybe they could look into some acoustic foam around the top of the room, but they don't want to do anything to compromise the historic properties of the venue, which is a stupid standpoint to me if they are having bands and booze there IMO.
So...in a room thats got all flat walls, tile on the floor, tile on the walls 5 feet up, and a stage thats off center (think of if you took a wall, divided it in half, and then put the stage on the right half of it - they have a projection screen on the other side), is there any sort of EQing that can be done to avoid it from just being a slap-back mush, or at least cut down on it some?
