I respectfully agree to disagree. You could potentially remove frequencies with the EQ on your mixing concel that you may want back later. Always better to track with the EQ flat then, adjust in the box with the track/bus EQ in Sonar.

Also equalizing hum, rumble, and other noise while tracking is most desirable. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Wicketts Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 10:25 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: pre and post eqs Hi Omar, I was always told to record with flat EQ, that way you have all the Frequencies to play with when mixing down.

Thanks.
