Hello Chris,  
your videos are brilliant. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite understand the parallel EQ concept. Do you use it on the entire mix, or on individual tracks?  
Greetings from Switzerland! 😉

Hello Ivan ! Ah yes Switzerland ! Parallel eq is simple to understand…for example…you have 16 tracks of drums that you have a sound on in your mix…you take a bus and send an equal amount of each track post fader to a stereo eq…you bring that up next to the drums to add more eq…usually top and bottom…try it
