What are the do's/don'ts, pros/cons, ins/outs of using the same (DX) plugin (ie: an EQ) with DIFFERENT settings in more than one place (ie: several tracks and/or buses)? Does it matter? Or is it really better to use a different plug for each app?

Thanks for the advice.

Hey There On Track,
You should be OK processing the same plug-in on different tracks, with different settings. As stated above, you will see additional drain on your CPU with each additional plug-in activation. Eq is not one of the more demanding processes so you should be fine in that regard. BTW I am shamelessly going to promote the "Plug-in Forum" as being a great place to discuss all things plug-in, but only because I am the moderator. Now I better run before the "mixing, Editing," mods catch me at it!
Cheers, Doc.
