Didn't really know what to title this, I hope someone who can help actually takes the time to check it out.
I've just noticed recently that my setup, not sure if it's my monitors or my interface, is lacking in the mid and high end frequency range when playing back audio. After playing around with Winamp's equalizer, playing a mix that I did a while back, I noticed this. I have a pair of M-Audio Studiophile AV40s; I know they're not the best reference monitors for mixing, but they've lasted me six years and I have no real need to purchase a new set if I don't have to. My interface is an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R. My question is, would inserting a hardware equalizer (I was looking at either the Behringer Ultragraph Pro FBQ1502 or the dbx 215s; I know that the dbx is going to be the better piece) between my interface and monitors and setting it to where I happy with the sound give me a more accurate reference of my mixes or make them worse?
I have an old Mackie mixer that I could try this out on before going out to buy anything, but I'd rather get some feedback on the actual process before I go behind this desk and start unplugging cables. It's a ***** moving this desk on this carpet.
