“I also would be willing to bet most studios are using digital equipment at this point. The analog stuff is being or has been phased out except in specialty studios dedicated to analog of which there are a few, not including MoFi😏”
@mijostyn , ALL studios use digital EQ. More for surgical corrections and more in the mixing phase. The mastering stage is where analog EQ really can shine. You read what Watts said. You’ve read what I’ve said. It’s hugely written about online. It’s fact that many mastering engineers prefer the sonics of analog for broad Q tonal sculpting in the final stages of production. And for treble/air sculpting, there are a few standout pieces that are legendary in the treble region. Maag and Charter Oak have been raved about online. You really don’t see such a love like that for different digital platforms. Not for broad Q treble sculpting. Many mastering engineers will use digital to make some of the curves of changes you make but then add the air with the Maag, for example. Probably some of the best recordings involve this approach. These are the kind of things you’ll read if you chose to do so.
