I feel like I'll posting in the newbie section for quite a while lol. Too much to learn
EQ rack equipment...why have it?
Because you record through this outboard equipment first correct? It's towards the beginning of your "signal flow" chain. Which means you be "pre-eqing" signals, not giving you the raw signal and then be able to eq later. It just seems like if you used one in chain and for some reason the sound didn't come out the way you expected...you just wasted a lot of time and would have to start over.
Now I understand somewhat why having a compressor would be a good idea to run through, especially for drums, cutting out peaks and controlling the gain amounts and levels. (\ramble)
I guess, why would you run through an equalizer first? Can you go backwards? in the sense, you could record raw to protools or a DAW, then send it back through outboard hardware.
thanks guys!
