guitar tracks EQ (HP and LP)...Do it in groups or each track?

[nezvers]

If stereo tracked and both sides have same settings = bus EQ
If quad tracked and/or second pair having different tone (as bi amping) and if you want go REALLY surgical you can filter on both pairs, but I listen to them as whole so I mostly will filter on summed bus (except if one of pairs have something that I don't like).

Compression/saturation and such thing I would prefer on each side (if possible un-linked stereo comp on bus).

Thank you for your suggestions guys. I always filtered after the cab sim like a real chain. But If I HP and LP first in the vst chain it sounds a little more polished and without some noise that is present if filtering after the cab. I will try what gets better in each moment.

You might have low cpu usage, but it still has an effect on your audio, either way you do it.

LP/HP always on group track.

doesn't make difference IMO, but u can try yourself. Just have the 2 tracks with the eq and a copy of those sent to a bus with the eq on the bus. Flip the phase of the bus, play everything at the same time. If the result is silence it means there's no difference.

I've been doing it on the bus after watching this
