I am sorry if this is a real noob question. But the sheer number of digital equalizers is so overwhelming. Is hoarding a natural part of music production? What about if you opt to only use one digital equalizer does that cover all bases in either mixing or mastering?

One good parametric equalizer is all you should really need. But since music is an art form, there's no "ideal" equalizer that everyone loves. It's difficult to convince anyone that this particular EQ plug-in is a one-size-fits-all solution.

Just remember that with a bit of know-how, you can get great results with a single parametric EQ from start to finish until you are done with your project

Learning one VST EQ plug-in gives you a solid foundation in understanding how equalization works. Plus, it allows you to make the most of the tools you have, since you know all the ins and outs of that particular plug-in.

That makes sorta makes sense.

But a part of me is also worried that I'll miss out on all the cool features that come with other EQ plug-ins.
