But for anyone that is familiar and/or using CEP 2.1, what are you using now, of have used in the past for your track compressor(s)? Regardless if you apply...

    why does it seem that cep's track eq's are garbage?!

    I hear people talking about effectively using eq by only boosting and/or notching by a couple of dbs. But why is it when i use cep's default track eq, I have to use close to 7 or 8 dbs to hear any immediate effect on the track? Even if i solo out the track and carefully listen, there is really...

    In CEP, there are many different eq-ing options to choose from, that i dont know which is the "best" to use for certain applications.

    I need some opinions.

    I always hear (or see) someone talking about GOOD monitors, but as with anything dealt with on this site, almost everything is to individual preference. But can someone give me their thoughts on the Alesis M1 Actives that I recently purchased? They sound pretty damn good to me; but are these...
