Something about EQ

^^^ Lol, yeah I get that, I use Ableton; they just seem a bit unaware that EQ8 can get 48 db/octave slopes (or 60 or 72 etc.)

You're right, actually. It's absolutely doable. Stack them up and you get more dBs per octave. But it's easier to just drop Pro-Q there than doing that innit .

using the Pre+Post analyzer with Pro-Q has totally changed how I see EQ'ing

watching the changes makes you realize how much (or how little) you might actually be doing by adjusting notches, shelves, and passes

I actually covered this pretty extensively on my Filteres 101 series

Word, in an odd way, it actually taught me to use my ears more. Or rather TRUST them more. It all confirmed what I thought was happening.

Yea just using a spectrum analyzer can help drive the point home to some people.

Wouldn't the Ableton Auto-Filter work for this type of stuff?
