I notice that Colt seems to add a lot more than subtract ..at least in this video. I'm trying to understand some of the above posts and I'm a bit confused. On the one hand most of you seem to agree that his approach is great, but many seem to be critical of boosting EQ in general. Am I misunderstanding something. Is anyone skeptical or critical of the approach? I don't trust my ears in this particular instance - Louder almost always sounds better to me.

He responded to that observation after people commented with a video response. In the video, he used Fab Filter Pro EQ on two channels with the same material. On one, we did a cut and on the other, we boosted only to match the action. He had the auto makeup gain on. I was surprised but they nulled. --- The result to me makes me less concerned about boosting but I still will cut the crap before compression and boosting anything.

Is this the dynamic EQ people are raving about over Fab Filter? Yes. The entire Tokyo Dawn suite is the bomb and the best you can get for what they do for the most part. It just gets stuff done. Everything is worth getting. I use them all on every mix except for Kotelnikov, which I only use as a clean mastering compressor, sometimes flattening out stems that are all over the place. Slick EQ GE (Japanese mode is my go to, easy to use, drum clean up EQ and you need the GE to get it and the coolest output stages), Nova GE is my dynamic EQ and the tightest one I've ever used, De-Edger (Think of this as an annoying transient softener to use with your de-essers! I use this + PSP Infinistrip De-esser to replace Spitfish), and Molot GE right now on almost everything. Limiter 6 GE is my final mastering limiter. It's awesome. The TDR Everything bundle is the best 300 bucks you'll ever spend on digital for the whole thing. They're all real tools without major artifacts or weirdness to set them up. I bought Nova GE last night. Watching videos today on how to use it. Wow, it has some incredible features.
