RE: sofware eq
Cheers (again) Psy. Will def check these out. One quick question though? I have tried out all the different combinations within Logic but I am intereted in the theory aswell - my new (basic) channel plug order is :-
Vintage Warmer
Sonic Maximiser
Logic Fat EQ
Vinatge Warmer
Other plugs make their way into the patch depending on what instrument it is , eg - delay, autofilter, flange, chorus, etc but I always start my channel strip with a compressor and end it with a compressor so wouldn't this mean that the headroom is always maintained by the final Vinatge Warmer in the chain?
Am I right in thinking that’s its best to compress before EQ?
Also some feedback for you - you were right (again) - I did a big 1 day experiment and compared Logics EQ with my Mackie EQ in a mixdown across all individual tracks and using the Logic EQ sounded way better than using the Mackie EQ. I think you were right when you said that my DAW is a lot better than my old analogue desk BUT……..I still like using my focusrite compressors especially that old NYC stereo drum compression technique where I have 2 stereo drum tracks - one dry and one compressed to shit, then balance them so in light of that how would you recommend that I use both - do you think its better to have say all my drum tracks on individual tracks within Logic (balance them in there) and route them out to a stereo track on my desk? Maybe I should do the same with guitars and keyboard sounds, etc - mix them in Logic and then route them to a stereo pair on my desk?
