For anyone interested in experimenting with different filter slopes using the Sonitus EQ, you can easily set one 2 or more filter bands to the same type (HPF), then using the same Frequency & Q (I find 1.4 is a good starting point), you can set up different slopes by stacking them

I used to get bogged down with techniques and tutorials saying you should do this and this, seems to take way from the creative process. I just use my ears now, if it sounds good then I go with that :-)

Definitely! Many folks learn what works simply by listening in the same way that some folks can play an instrument without reading music. One the best things though, is to learn by watching what others do in similar situations - generally. For DAW plug-ins, the best place to look is presets. I remember iZotope Alloy or Ozone had a preset for cleaning up mud and giving a bit a definition to double basses - but this is also something that can be done with the plug-ins already included in Sonar too.
