for acousmatic and field recording based work a 31 band EQ is anything 
*but* a nail gun
for working with live front of house mixing it might very well be
IMO the parametric EQ is way too 'musical' for working with field 
recordings although works very well with traditional musical instruments
and why I miss my GRM EQ and other plugs they make

now can someone suggest an viable alternative to the Linux Sampler?
