I've never used an EQ plug-in either. I record things so that they don't
need EQ. It saves a lot of time and money.
Sadly I'm not that perfect. And seldom are others whose recordings I need
to work with.
How boring it is to be perfect. And once you achieve
perfection, does it still sound perfect the next time you
listen to it? Having so many choices just makes me (and
probalby just about everyone else) a little unsure if this
is really right or if a different plug-in or a different
setting could make it better.
I let (or make) the musicians do all the work, and I strive
to make what they do in the studio come through to the final
product. Sure, sometimes it takes EQ or compression, but not
a lot of agonizing over which of many devices is the right
one to use. Not spending a lot of money and keeping things
that work for a long time (and shelving things that don't)
helps this decision process a lot, too.
