Included with VSL is a library of Channel Strip presets. Section 4.1.5 discusses
how to load these presets onto a channel or bus and how to create your
own presets. For an idea of where to start, check out the following generic
EQ settings for several different instruments. As with the compression
settings in Section 5.2.3, the right EQ setting for any given instrument
will depend upon the room and the tonality of the instrument.
