hi all, I'm thinking of buying a Massive Passive, having had my heart set on one for years, but I'm hearing great things about the Summit EQP200B, which 2nd hand would be about half the price. Anyone ever compared them? Does the summit really stand up to the MP?

Hello. I have a small project studio and usually i don't have any mastering on my projects mix - i know very pro gear are needed for that. The only operation i like doing is to insert a SPL Vitalizer in the main out channel of my Mackie 32-8 mixer, so that the mix sound is like... sweatened and rounded.

On the 2-bus would you use the massive first or second or in the sidechain of the 2500?

I have a varimu and Massive Passive a Rosetta 800 and Big Ben and Masterlink.

What now? does anyone have any sugestions about rooms, monitors, and mastering processes using the gear that I have mentioned above.

More history:

The main studio is all analog into Alsesis HD24XR using TAC analog console for mixing and inserting analog gear during mixdown.
