    I don't even use tone controls.  Equalizers usually do more harm
than good in inexperienced hands.  Where most eqs go +- 10 dB, I think
they should probably only be allowed to work on a +- 5dB range.

    A friend of mine, who used to be head engineer at Capricorn Records,
when showing a new engineer around, wouldn't tell him about equalization.
If the trainee would point to the eq section and ask "What's that?",
my friend would reply, "Do you have your equalizer's license?"
"Well, no . . .",  "Then you can't touch that, sorry."

    My feelings exactly.
