When you are mixing and you are using EQ, how are you supposed to do it?

Are you supposed to put an EQ on a track and arm all the automations for it and then use the automations each time you want to EQ a region on the track?

Is there an easy way to write plug-in automation to a track without a controller?

The easiest way for me is to make a selection on the region i want to eq, then use Preview mode, do the eq i want and capture, then write to all

Alternatively, to make a selection on the region i want to eq and loop play it with the automation in write mode and tweak until it sounds like i want it to. just dont forget to put the track back to read mode if you don't have the switch to latch after automation pass activated on the preferences.

What is write to all, I have never heard of that?? – Chris Mar 7 2011 at 6:07
Oh never-mind, it's only available with the CPTK and HD. – Chris Mar 7 2011 at 6:26

I put an EQ on all dialogue tracks.

First I apply a general lo-cut and a general hi-cut to all tracks. The hi-cut will be somewhere around 13k and the lo-cut somewhere between 80-125 Hz, depending on how it all sounds. I always use steep 24 dB filters.

Normally I work on HD, so I also use the automation preview to find the right EQ, and then write to all. I am almost always in touch mode.

If I am working on LE, I tweak the controls with the mouse, but I will probably be in latch mode, so it doesn't snap back all the time...

You can also press cmd+ctrl while clicking on a control, and then the parameter graph pops up on the track, so you can make quick general changes.
