Automatic EQ Settings?

My question has to do with EQ presets. The presets for any EQ I've seen work by adjusting specific frequencies by a set amount of dBs, regardless of the actual frequency response curve.

That means that (for example) if I record two vocal tracks, using two different mics (or using the same mic placed slightly differently), but want both vocals to sit in essentially the same "vocal" place in the mix, I can't use the same preset.

What I want is a tool that first analyzes the frquency spectrum and then adjusts the EQ settings to match a predefined target spectrum. That way, it doesn't matter what the source spectrum is. I can quickly set any source spectrum to an ideal target.

Does anyone know if such a tool exists? Does anyone use such a tool (or am I the only one that would use such a tool?)

I don't know of anything like that...

but BTW, if anyone here DOES happen to know of some such device, you should know that you dramatically reduced your chances of them responding by posting this in not one, but four different forums. Just a tip for next time.
 
Oops. I didn't see a generic forum, so I posted in several places.

And it's pretty much the wrong way to approach EQing in any case.........

You use your ears to hear with, not your eyes, or a plug-in.......... human hearing is frequency-weighted, particularly in the midrange, so a plug or EQ preset is useless in approximating how a particular EQ curve actually translates to human hearing.
