I did wonder about just trying to make do with other plugins, but the 
Triple Band parametric is just so useful. I use it on just about every 
track, both for the high pass and the EQ. I have just discovered the 
4-band parametric, but I've had problems with the Glame High Pass where 
I've tried using that.

How easy is it to recompile a kernel? Could it cause more problems than 
it would solve? It sounds rather daunting for a newb like me. But on the 
other hand, my mixing is grinding to a halt -- quite literally! Perhaps 
I'll just get a load of tracking done until I find a solution.

Cheers
