EQ should be used as a shaping tool, not a band-aid

yeah that's probably my primary concern while recording vocals. i could get a far better sound if i EQ'd the life out of these vocals, like i've done before, but in the end it just doesn't sound right at all.

i guess now i have to decide whether i want to spend $300 on an sm7b or $600 on a condenser and a reflection filter
