Julien, I really love apQualizer for this type of notching. It's super cheap and you can create any amount of whatever kind of eq band you want. It's CPU friendly, and I find the built-in spectrum analyzer to be extremely helpful in locating problem areas, as well as quickly locating things like fundamental frequencies in drums.
Ermz, any thoughts on actual cab placement within a room, and using thick acoustic foam to handle the room acoustics bleeding into the mic cap?
Or does analog emulation not benefit a ton in this department, when we really just need to make certain frequencies disappear??

It's always interesting to learn different approaches. One thing I'll add is that in the spectrum of analog it's a real PITA to start ripping 10+ bands of EQ on multiple guitar channels. Of course you could eq to tape but I really don't think most analog guys are getting that surgical.This, but throw in some of the boosts that Colin Richardson mentioned in that thread he started 2-3 (maybe 4?) years back.
I think it has a big part to do in how centric the instrument is in your mixing style, as Ermz usually mixes far less guitar-centric than the Sneap, Richardsen, Fredman, Suecof, etc crowd.
awesome...definitely checking it out. built-in analyzer would rule.
Do you look to the future with the ambition of improving the craft of engineering across the board, by setting new standards, or are you content being an imitation of the guys who are currently at the top?

The problem with this question is that it suggests you think your methods are getting you, or will in the future get you better tones than the guys at the top.
