Re: [ARSCLIST] Seeking suggestions for an EQ device.



Come to think of it.....if I was to mix with an outboard EQ (as
detailed in my previous post) and save the subsequent mix as a "save
as" instead of writing over the working mix then I'd still be in good
shape right?

I see what you're saying about keeping the initial capture as "raw" as
possible.  I am doing this already.   But why would making subsequent
mixing adjustments with plugins be a better idea than using an outboard
EQ if, in either case, I'll have the original capture to fall back on
if I don't like the mix?  Are you suggesting that I only use
applications that I would have the option of "undoing"?  If that's the
issue you're trying to raise then I think what you're suggesting makes
sense.  On the other hand, if you're suggesting that mixing with an
outboard EQ (post-capture, mind you) threatens the integrity of the
document more than a plugin then I'm not sure that I understand.

In any case, thanks for the input guys.  This is exactly why I posted
this inquiry here.

I would advise the transfer be made native, and any eq added should be
experimented within the plugins used in your digital applications.

You can always go back to the original source material.

Try WAVES.  Just pick out the modules you need.  It's a nuisance to
install
because of unaurorized use paranoia but works fine.

Hi folks,

It's becoming painfuly obvious that we really need some external EQ
in our
lab.
All that we have now is a 3-band EQ situation [low/mid/hi] on items
as
they
enter the computer to get captured, Waves Restoration and then
whatever
plug-ins come standard with Pro Tools LE. I was thinking along the
lines
of
something that we could pump our Pro Tools sessions through during
mixdown
and
then pump right back into PT. Any suggestions on models or alternate
methods?
Is what I'm suggesting even a possibility?

I should add that our budget is modest but I can usually find ways
of
getting
things done. This to say, nothing too fancy but nothing from Guitar
Center
either. Know what I mean?

Thanks,
Brandon Burke
