Is EQ something that should only be adjusted after recording vocals? I've read that compression can be applied before recording, but only if you know what you are doing since it can't be taken out. Is it the same deal with EQ?

So let's say you're recording an electric guitar, multitrack, to be used in a band setting.

Do you:

Dial in EQ on the amp, using the low/mid/hi knobs, to the way you/the guitarist want it, then just record that signal and keep it relatively flat from there?

This is a question for SN, BD. etc.

Hi Guys, ok here's the deal. I already ordered some high quality mic preamps and external analog compressors. I wanted to know if you pros out there add the analog compressors and eq while recording straight into your DAW ? or Do you record the siganl clean then add the compressors later ?
