[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 131752, member: 46"] Re: Analog comeback? Looking at your photo Brandon, some thoughts..... I haven't mixed a show using a graphic EQ in probably the last 5 years now. Everything is parametric, and I have never missed the graph one bit. I do miss the analog console surface though. When I mix on analog I find I will do a lot more DURING the show with EQ, whereas with digital I am mostly just adjusting balance once EQ and processing is set. I'll crank the HF on an acoustic gtr during a chorus to help it cut through a dense mix, I'll adjust upper mids and top end of vocals depending on the song, I'll sometimes toggle the LF or the attack of a kick between verse and chorus, etc, etc. It's just not that practical to do that sort of thing on digital consoles since I can't manage multiple changes at the same time. Analog is definitely more fun for me... but I say this as a digital owner. [/QUOTE]
