Q: When should I use a linear-phase EQ versus a “regular” equalizer?
A: The hallmark of a linear-phase EQ, such as those from Waves, is the lack of coloration resulting from the EQ. So it’s perfect for when you want to adjust the frequency balance of signal without adding unnecessary coloration from the processing.
This lack of coloration makes linear-phase EQ ideal for acoustic instruments where transparency is paramount; stereo sources, for excellent channel correlation, tracks with strong transients, and for mastering.
