z-Q2 Digital EQ

Is anybody familiar with the z-systems z-Q2? It claims to be a mastering EQ (and has a corresponding price tag) so I thought this might be the place to ask. I specifically wondered about the M/S encode-decode function, which changes it from applying EQ to the L & R channels, to applying it to mid and side. Is this a common mastering function?

Multing Tips for Digital Mixes

In an earlier discussion Julian mentioned that he has been having great success in rock tracks by multing the kick and snare to several channels and then combining them to get more punch and depth to his digital mixes.

I would love to know some very detailed settings people are using to do this on kick, snare, and even vocals and bass.

Thanks so much.
