While it is something the established pros might (rightfully) scoff at, I think it can be good practice for novices and amateurs trying to graduate to the intermediate skill level. Beware of certain endless tweak-traps though : 1) You (usually) cannot reduce the vocal sibilance without reducing the impact of other instruments occupying that frequency range. Proportionately, the sibilance still remains stubbornly prominent. 2) You can't (usually) reduce the 60hz kick thump without gutting some of the bass guitar oomph. ----- It seems that if the super-sibilance and relentlessly overbearing kick-thump aren't moderated in the tracking & mixing stages, they remain as permanent (sonic) stains during the (non-pro) remastering phase. ---------- I'd welcome any wisdom, skills, or experience to the contrary though.
