I recall times when we made absolute HiEnd sound on 3-band, semi-parametric EQs on analog desks w/o automation…
Asking for 7 or more EQ bands is absolutely legitimate, but what got lost in the art of recording that such surgical tools are needed, at all? I mean, for accidents or fixes we have better tools…
I am not a purist nor am I living in the past, but I probably need to hear/compare something that was done with “only” 4 bands and the ( presumably better) 7 band EQ.
Just m2c … no offence…
Again… demanding a larger multiband EQ is absolutely ok …
