When EQing, move quickly

Early Me’s idea about EQing: “EQing is a deliberative and ponderous process. You can, and if you’re serious, should, take minutes debating between a boost of 0.3 dB and 0.4 dB.”

Current Me’s idea about EQing: “If I can’t change the EQ on this in five seconds in an obviously noticeable way that clearly makes it cooler, I’m moving on.”

There absolutely is a place for stroking one’s beard and contemplating the difference between a 0.3 dB boost and a 0.4 dB boost … and that place is mastering. Maybe. If you have extremely detailed monitors.
