No, it is not the same. Imagine this scenario: A bass, you turn up a lot around 1.2 kHz to get a Jazzbass-like tone. A female voice, you give a boost at 180 Hz to add bottom. Imagine you had done this on the mix bus: The bass starts mudding the whole thing and the voice sounds like a rat. ___ Peter Ostry
