Hey now, double posting is a no-no...

I'm new I did not even know I double posted.

I would look into the speck eqs they are decent for the money. Also you might look at some of the orban used eqs. They were decent in the 80s and definitely would do the trick. Also the AudioArts eqs are pretty decent. I have one for when my GML and my Manley Pultecs are not enough.

Also I would look at maybe a different compressor for mastering. The Peavey is a solid unit on individual instruments but as a mastering compressor have not heard of any one using it. Look into something that gives you more control of the comp.

My $.02

So..you are going out of your daw to analog and back in after eq?
Better be sure your converters are up to snuff.
I'm no pro but I think that the conversion to and from analog must be top drawer if you are going to benifit from an outboard eq.
cheers

Damn straight, Roly. Excellent point.

Yeah Apogee rosetta
