I spent most the evening with a group a sound engineers, discussing
things ranging from mixing desk ergonomics to how to approach a
particular mix that our host presented as an example of his work. 

Inspired by this thread, I dared to coin the question 'how would
you feel about an EQ plugin that analyses the track it's in, gets
information from its peers in other tracks, and then adjusts itself ?'

Result: general hilarity. Consensus was that this the most stupid
thing ever suggested. Had to take some action to avoid damage to
my own reputation.

Ciao,
