The equalizer is a fundamental tool in the mixing and mastering phases.
It's easy to come across arguments about how linear phase EQs are better or are just a marketing gimmick.
In this video we clarify and explain everything you need to know about linear phase EQs.

We will cover topics such as the difference between IIR and FIR filters, latency, CPU load, pre-ringing and post-ringing.
After this video you will no longer have any doubts about how linear phase EQs work and what to choose for your mixes and mastering.
