Conversely, I dont think I ever used a BW really really wide unless I was trying to achieve a shelving affect. SOooo Im wondering what is really practical, and what makes the controls too touchy. I often think I could have lived with 3 or 4 well chosen Q settings. Eight isnt too bad tho.
Hey Dave,
If you are thinking about an EQ, make it totally variable(ala GML but with some kinda character of course).
I totally use a super narrow Q when "pinching" or fixing sounds.
If you can make it at least 5-6 bands.
And don't forget a Partridge in Pear tree!!
