Danny quote:
"In my opinion, I personally think you're making this a bit more difficult than it needs to be. You mention:
"Here I assume on the first EQ you would boost, say, 1, 3 and 5, and reduce the gain and then on the next EQ, reduce 2, 4 and 6 and add gain?" I can't seem to even get my head around that. It's probably because I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but to even look at an eq in that manner just makes me shake my head with confusion"
Sorry Danny, I was referring to rsinger's post about using the Roland VG-99. Your post was very helpful.
I have to learn to recognize what the problem is.
IOW When I hear it and it sounds muted, muddy or dull, I add highs and it seems better. What I need to do is, as you say, try killing the dullness before adding brightness.
