The EQ that Changed the World – API 550a
A deep dive into the API 550a EQ, an classic and oft used EQ from the Automated Processes Inc company. We look at the history of it invention and go thru the inner workings of how the EQ works. Who bought one of the first ones? What frequencies does it cover? What kind of EQ is it? It’s all right here. Plus the Friday Finds with what Chris and Jody have found for you this week. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

What did Chris find this week? What did Jody find this week that will improve your mixing status? Listen in to the Friday Finds section and find out. Oh, and there’s a nifty new thing if you listen to the very end.
