Message: [QUOTE="Scorpio, post: 15784, member: 4"] Every song is different and for this reason, there can never be a Q setting that is going to work on all mixes. Some mixes are dull; some mixes are bright and some mixes don't need a whole lotta fixing because they sound good already except maybe in terms of commercial loudness which of course can easily be achieved these days by anyone who knows what they are doing. After all brickwall limiting is not rocket science—it doesn't take too long to learn compared to equalization which is extremely challenging because: [LIST] [*]It costs money to set up your own good listening environment (i.e. room treatment) [*]It costs money to purchase a decent pair of studio monitors. [*]It takes so much time and dedication to come up with your own unique taste for music because that's what you will be selling to clients and that's all that matters eventually—forget the silly objective rhetoric that charlatans peddle around. You can't be objective with music otherwise there would be one supreme scientific style to rule them all if that was the case. [/LIST] However, if ever one should make a decision to master their own music (assuming they are a novice still getting their feet wet) without screwing things up, I would recommend a Q of 0.707 (and that's almost close to two octaves) but then again these [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/resources/what-are-plug-ins-in-music-software.467/']VST plugins[/URL] are so different and this is what I was saying to [USER=629]@Tafadzwa Twabam[/USER] the other day. You can't just grab a random EQ and type in 0.71 thinking the results will be the same as far as the subject of EQ curves is concerned. [/QUOTE]
