I EQ most of my recordings to some limited degree. On occasion, especially for shows where I directly mic'd the band, I will do a lot more (add reverb, other more heavy-handed effects).
I just find it f'ing hilarious when the gear chair is like:
Edirol R-09 (in shirt pocket)>Izotope Rx (sonic maximalisation, hypnotic regulator, de-esser, hard limiter)>WaveLab (multivariable calculus optimizer, bass volumizer)>etc.

.... I mean, come on! My view is, spend 1/5 the time it took you to steal all that software and plugins actually working at a job / overtime at your current job, or better yet, skip buying tickets to a few shows, and you'd have the $$$ for a solid Church rig that could actually make something worth listening to. I mowed lawns to pay for my first gear. It can be done...
