Hi Chris,

I'm used to using hardware when performing live. I use a 16 band EQ to help get the best overall sound for all the instruments and a 15 band on the microphones. I'm used to using sliders and that's why I like the access to the frequency levels on the Sonitus.
The sonitus vintage EQ however only has 6 frequency levels.
I want more control over the overall sound as I have some studio projects that I'm trying to get as close as possible to a Mastering house finish. I'm Using limiter effects, compressors and equalisers. It's a very time consuming game trying to get that Pollished production sound, especially as it's not really my bag.

I too guess I'm going to have to learn how
different EQ curves sound and how to get these mmuch more precisely with the Sonitus EQ.,

Thanks Chris,
Steve W

I'm curious why you need so many bands.

With a large graphic equalizer, several bands are used to create slopes, bell curves, and other shapes, that you can do with a single band in something like the per Track EQ or the Sonitus EQ.

There is a 20-band graphic EQ in Sony Sound Forge, and we have access to it in that program. Honestly though, once I learned how different EQ curves sounded and how to get these mmuch more precisely with the Sonitus EQ, I have almost never used the 10 or 20-band graphic EQ in Sound forge.
