Phil replied: sheesh, that's a lot of hard work. Am able to leave my
backing tracks flat on the desk when playing live. Then, just have to take
out a little of the lows and sweep the mid on the vocals a bit to sweeten up
the sound. Never use a 32 band EQ, just the parametric on the board and
that's enough. Mind you do use a DBX 1066 compressor on the vocals which,
does an excellent job.

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
