hiya productiony types...
i've been getting more involved in eq'ing, compressing, mastering type things recently in an attempt to get a more pro sound to my stuff. (especially as it looks like i'm getting a track released soon, hopefully)
i'm wondering if any of you guys use a vst (or other) plugin to monitor outputs of different tracks / components within a mix to help with eq'ing, and working out what will go with what.
i know the age old advice goes 'trust your ears' but i'd be interested to see things in a more graphical way too - i think it would help me quite a bit.
so two questions really - anyone out there used this sort of technique and found it useful? also any recommendations for plugins to use? (as always preferably free! or at least cheap...)
cheers,
will
