The aim of room treatment (or DRC) is not to achieve either! - it's to allow the recorded ambience - whether that happens to be a dead studio with added digital reverb or a large hall - to come through as best it can. Obviously the whole thing is a massive compromise/ilusion anyway. I find that physically sorting out the room to avoid flutter echo and other annoyances, followed by DRC to handle the worst EQ imbalances works a treat. YMMV. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
