The settings you mention are likely to smooth out the kit to make it bit more even and I guess therefore louder
You would also parallel compress to make abit more aggressive and also some limiting to reduce any peaks

Great post mate because It's a very powerful mix technique and I myself am always confused by this. The comment above is the classic "there are no rules when making music etc" but eqing in this way can really clear up your mix but it does really depend on what frequency content is in your mix curren...

Yes I totally don't get this product. If you need power, for the same price you can get a 13" macbook pro with retina display, if you need portability, for the same price you can get a 13" air with higher overall performance or for light tasks just buy an iPad with add-on keyboard.

I got a focus rite in the end mate but thanks for your help/advice

Focusrite 2i2
Mackie Onyx Blackjack

My audio interface is my virus ti polar but it does not have phantom power or preamps as far as I am aware. What is my best solution to get my mic working? [*]Behringer P400 as a power adapter which...

I'd just turn it off mate

I'm thinking about picking up a PUSH but all the videos I see online are of people banging together a few sounds/loops and doing some basic scene arrangements. Is anyone using the PUSH at the mix down stage or is it just much easier to go back to the laptop? How easy/comfortable is it to add either ...

I honestly thought Live 9s EQ8 had everything I needed but then FF go and lunch spectrum grab-must have feature for next Live update imo
