Any eq you like. Just play until you get a sound you like. There is no eq right answer. Start simple.

How do you know you like it? And why? Right! You must've had some experience using it and got at least a general idea how this EQ is different from others.

 It can easily take weeks or months. No one's willing to spend this much time on each track. 

That's why we all need tutorials and howtos on basic to advanced sound processing.

@Soundwise I did a follow-up on this, but I didn't post it here because it's specifically about the Presonus ProEQ2 - fairly similar to the QuadCurve in Cakewalk, I suppose, though the Cakewalk one has some emulation factor to it with its different curve responses (though there's more to emulation than that and I don't think QC has that), where the PreSonus one is purely a graphical parametric EQ.  I wonder if there would be any value in doing one about the QuadCurve separately.

@Blades Thanks, I'll take a look.
