You're not going to be happy with my recommendation, but ya kinda asked... Personally, I live by the rule, "get it right the first time". I adapted that rule when getting into photography at a young age, and realizing how costly it was to crop and print photos. In other words, with regards to photos, I "crop on the fly"...I use the zoom and don't have to crop in post. Well, I do the same thing, to the extent that I can, with my recordings. I tape from where it will sound best, and do not EQ anything. All I need to do, most of the time, is bring up my levels. I have my own ideas about EQing recordings that most do not share (to each their own, and all that). I believe that if the band (soundperson) does their job correctly, then the sound I recorded is the way it was meant to sound. If the issue is with the equipment, and EQing is necessary because of that...(do I really have to say this?) it may be time for some different equipment. Anyway, please don't get crazy with me, it's just the way I do things.
