Michael Wagener, a little question about EQ
Hi Michael
Okay so first off I am really hoping this thread does not fall apart into a rant about digital vs. analog so if you want to slag X because you like Y better please save it. We have been down the road too many times.

Okay now that that is out of the way Michael I noticed that in your response to the preamps thread you said...
I assume this means that you reach for digital EQ first if you need it then. My questions would be
1) How much EQ are we talking here. Are you using a touch of EQ on every track or a touch of EQ on very few tracks or a bunch of surgical EQ on one or two tracks??
2) What digital EQ's do you like? I know that you are not in DAW land but have you run into anything you like or that you come back to??
3) If you are using digital EQ's do you tend to stay away from EQ's they try to emulate things in the analog world? Are you looking for EQ's that are very clean then??
Thanks….
How about the rest of you, are you reaching for an EQ that sounds analog? Are you using EQ sparingly or over the top? Surgical or general tone shaping??

EQ is always my last resort, especially analog EQ, it seems to "haze" combined sounds, even though I use EQs like the Great River as a creative tool, rather than a fixer.
