ugh.. as if the Burl Bomber wasn't enough, this is just what I needed, another piece to lust after, arrgh..
Eventually I want a simple, but elegant system. A Burl A/D, Heritage 1073, maybe a tube compressor for the mix bus, a couple of great mics, and a new computer. Then, it's up to me to use all this digital firepower well. Maybe after I get the hardcore basics together, the right mic, the right pre, ( for me), I'll look at things like summing mixers, channel strips, etc.

Here's the thing about printing EQ, MJB. It can be perfect for the right thing but one has to be careful. Say for example you have built up a song around a scratch vocal. The mix is sounding good, balanced EQ and your ready to print the final vocals. This scenario is where printing through an EQ makes all the difference. Your EQ balance for the mix is already in place so you can taylor your print to match the canvas so to speak. Printing and leaving it alone is always best as we know. Printing EQ means completely linear. No digital phase will be introduced whatsoever and this makes for awesome sounding tracks. Now for the flip side. Printing things early in a mix is a slippery slope. Why? Because the palate hasn't been completed yet. EQ changes need to be made throughout to get things to gel and to avoid masking and placement issues.
That's one work flow, here's another. For singer/songwriters like us we also have the option of printing the rightly EQ'd vocal early in the build and placing everything else around that. This method always seems harder for me to get right but I have done it.
I find it's easier to get all the music sounding right first, then printing final vocals. So for me, printing vocals that are very close to what they need to sound like is the best case scenario. EQ plays a big roll in that sometimes if the mic used is not 100% there. Which is most always the case.
