Any recommendations? I have the Waves L3 multimaximizer. Should I just use the eq function in that (is it as good as their linear eq?) OR should I use an eq from another manufacturer altogether? I also want something better than the WavesL10 or rennaisance eq.
THANKS for any recommendations.

Hey all, i have been murking around on this site for about 2 months, just trying to read and catch up on everything. What a resource, I feel blessed to have the knowledge, of some of the MEs here, and the more expeirnced Engineers.

Hi!

I mostly record and mix, but in a small budget projects I sometimes do the mastering also. For now I've been using only plugins for that application, but I'm planning to get outboard eq and maybe a great compressor for mastering purposes.

So, all you masteringmasters, what eq and comp should I get?

FYI, almost all my projects are in rock/pop -genre.

I want a great eq for shaping kick drums, that would work well with a api 3124, and d6 mic.

thanks

Hi all,

I have been looking to upgrade my home sudio setup, and would like some advice from you guys. Firstly, my setup is as follows:

How many of you out there use EQ while tracking? And do you use outboard EQ's or plugins? I'm having trouble deciding if I should get two good preamps or one good preamp and a nice EQ. Right now when I record with my Vintech X73i's I usually use the EQ to cut out some boominess or boost the highs a tad.

I've read loads of people explaining that the highs and lows need to be boosted for the mix to sound louder (I've grasped the psycho-acoustic theory behind this) my question is, what frequencies?

Is an overall smile curve ok? Should I invest in an Exciter? Should I eq the seperate tracks this way before mixdown?

...Help!

This is actually a problem concerning live violin amplification..My wife plays acoustic violin in our group (with modified zeta pickup) we have been having problems getting the a and d to cut thru I recently purchased a Kerry King 10 band Eq and whilst this helps add a bit of boast to the signal (I run all Eq on the Pa at 0 and boost up the Eq mids) There seems to be something missing.

hi guys, if you were designing your own console, which type of eq would you use? also, would you use all the same type, or mix and match?

I don't know if anyone has seen the latest issue of EQ Magazine, but Massive Mastering has the back page, "Room with a VU". I thought it was pretty cool that a guy that gives so much of his time and knowledge to this forum gets some pretty cool press.

Congrats John!
