Sorry so excessive here. Again just my passion coming out. Let’s just leave it at I need to hear what you’re doing and you need to hear what I’m doing. Fair enough?

My guy locally says even the best DSP for room correction leaves a slight haze and grain to the mids. I want to hear on my own though.

And I do read about shootouts on Gearspace with mastering engineers comparing the best plug-in digital emulations of classic analog designs, eg Knif Soma or SPL PQ, and they say similar to my observations on my own system but with a smaller margin...

You confuse passionate as arrogance. I have yet to meet a DSP advocate as passionate here as I’ve been. That should tell you something. But I’ll admit I’ve only done some bass and treble shelf boosts and compared them instantaneous A-B to my analo...

@mahgister , your ‘natural’ method, while impractical and unsightly to wives, is certainly fascinating. I have no doubts you are maximizing sonic returns on the gear you have.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
“I take it they're mostly digital by now for a number of reasons, though analog mixers are no doubt easier/more intuitive to use. ” maybe in mixing. In mastering (most similar to our use case) analog is still felt to be superior. Although the ga...
