When waves API 550 plug came out I took one of my hobby productions and did a mix using nothing but the 2dB per step eq. on every channel. It was amazing how this changed the decision making process. If 2 dB. didn't sound better, you left it flat. If 4 didn't sound better than 2, you left it at 2.

A year later I was going over my mixes and discoverd that by far the best sounding mix I had done was my API experiment. How much of this game is managing one's mind?
