Several years back, I described using "stacked plugs" as a work-
around for parametric EQ plug-ins that only provide a few bands when 
more bands are required.  I can't think of a reason to use mulitple 
passes when one can makes all the necessary changes at once.  I try 
to follow the "simpler is better" axiom and often combine several 
types of digital processing like EQ, balance, gain, phase and 
increasing bit depth into one, final, step when out-putting a file. 
When I'm having trouble judging which equalization settings/effects 
produce the best results, I output the varied attempts and compare 
them back to back in a timeline.

I can see the merit in taking time with the judgements, but not in 
spreading the decisions out over multiple processing passes. Rob D.
