Why are frequencies on equalizers unequally spaced?

I've been wondering this awhile now. On the generic Pro Tools graphic equalizer, the frequencies are unequally spaced. For example, there is a large gap between 100hz and 200hz. But between 200hz and 300hz, the gap is about half as wide. Can someone explain the reasoning for this?

Help get me started

I'm trying to get myself decently set up for at home recordings, with minimal time and money invested. I'm semi-computer competent, and I do have some experience using standalone digital recorders, but have never gotten myself properly set up to use a PC. I tried my hand at Pro Tools, using v8 and an Mbox 2 mini. Changed PCs to a Windows 7 version, and Pro Tools completely failed me.

Looking for Studio Monitors

'm looking for a pair of monitors for recording. I'm currently using Bose 301 Series IV bookshelf speakers to mix (they're also the speakers I use for my stereo system) . I've worked with them long enough to know what my mixes should sound like on them for it to sound proper on any stereo system. However, I would like to get a pair of actual studio monitors with a flat frequency response.

How do you find singles and/or albums the day they are released?

Having been involved in music for so long it seems like a silly question, but where do you go to find new music the day it is released? When an artist releases a single, how do you know? Is there a convenient place to keep track of this that isn't the radio?

Amp suggestions for NS-10s?

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a new amp for our studios pair of NS-10s and was wondering where to look without breaking the bank. We are on a pretty tight budget at this time and while others have suggestion Bryston and the likes, it is unfortunately out the question at this point. Is there an affordable amp that will do the job well? What is everybody else using on theirs?

reducing harshness, buzzing of acoustic guitar

Hi
Did a live recording recently of a friend playing acoustic guitar in a club. Was able to get a clean feed off the PA into my ZOOMH4N.

Can anyone suggest some best practices when working with acoustic guitar in Audition or similar DAW?
What compression, equalization should I use?
How can I reduce some of the harshness and 'buzzing' sounds the strings make?
