Dan make a great point , but i think his video is dangerous for non educated people ... and i think even he , was kinda off ...
i discovered since years that a great digital eq can reproduce 90 % of analog ones but the real question is would i have made those curves without A/B and the answers was abvious ....and why greaat analog eq or eq s that bring workflow enhancement (claro ect ...) are always worth ... and i ll’ take my 1081 , 32c or pultec over my pro Q 3 in a lot of scenarios ....beacuse on a kik it take me 3 sec , on a snare , 3 sec ect .... and the results are here ....
i do think analog eq are really pedagogical and fulll digital eq s are for more advanced users that understand their role .
