Cut if you want it to sound better

Boost if you want it to sound different

I am a firm believer that EQ is okay and I use generous amounts of it if the track needs it but one of the hardest things to get away from as a rookie was the need to EQ everything just to fiddle with the knobs. I still fight it years later as a matter of fact.

I would change this quote to read "Cut if you need it to sound better, boost if you need it to sound different leave it alone if it sounds good already."
