Audio nerds: Anyone using a DBX 286s in your mic chain? I'm wondering if adding one would help me eliminate the need for any audio processing in post when editing my videos.

That's my exact goal! I'm hoping to be able to drop my footage into Premiere without the need for any audio effects or tweaking of levels.

I’ll be honest, I was’t able to tweak it to get as good of a sound as I would by manually mixing (prob skill issue), but it is good enough for me. Some very mild compression, a boost on lower frequencies and a noise gate is what I use. I record ~ -6dB so it’s always “ready”.

That really all I want. I don't need absolutely perfect audio – I just want it to sound good and be loud enough to match the average video that's already on my channel. I've let go of so many perfection-seeking processes over the years lol
