And this is the important point I try to point out. Assuming the
software should be as good as a mixing console, it doesn't matter if
it's as good as the tools provided by the analog or digital consoles.
The difference is that the engineers and artists used a mixing console,
not some software for a desktop PC, a sound card and a mouse. The mixing
console has got inputs, faders and knobs. The differences of usable EQs
are less important, for the sound, as well as for the work-flow.
