No idea why I didn't know about this sooner in my 7 years of mixing, but I've always struggled with harsh sounding mixes but couldn't tame them without loosing the brightness of the song using EQ. For some reason I downloaded and tried out the demo of FabFilter Pro DS and wow..... its subtle but holy crap does it make a difference. My songs don't punish my ears now.
