„Should I Record Flat And Dry Tracks Or Compress And EQ On The Way In?“
This is a very common and valid question and we're not sure if it can ever be answered completely. But we definitely have an opinion on it and we are going deep into the topic in this episode.
We explain:

• what it actually means to "EQ and compress on the way in"
• if and when we think it is a good idea to process the signal before it gets recorded
• the differences between analog processing and committing plugins
• what tools to use
• if and when it makes sense to invest in EQs, compressors, other outboard gear or plugins
• which questions you should ask yourself in order to find out what's right in your situation
• the advantages and downsides of the different approaches

And finally, we'll talk about some example scenarios to show you our thought process behind those decisions.
Listen now, so you can save yourself some money, invest wisely, make confident decisions, create exciting art and choose your approach strategically, rather than just hoping for the best.
