Ok. I'm probably sort of playing devils advocate here, but why wouldn't you? Wouldn't you be starting out with a flatter response on your mix as a whole without the bump across every track?
Would a frequency bump across every track "build up" making things muddy?
Again, not an argument here, just trying to learn a little more.
I'm actually asking cause my fostex b16 has about a +3db bump around 80-100Hz. Using pink noise the bump actually fluxuates between +3 and +5db on each and every track.
I've been trying to do completely analog mixdowns but on some of my projects I've been rewinding and playing so much I thought I'd give the machine a break. So I transferred everything to my Roland vs-2480 and then lined out of there back to my analog board.
Anyway, knowing that I had that bump on each track I thought "maybe I should go in the 2480 and eq out the bump at said frequency."
Thought I'd get some thoughts on it here first.
Thanks!!
