Equaliser and DSP

[nugget720]

Hi, I'm not experienced with audio postprocessing and I'd appreciate if you could give me feedback on my modest setup.
First, I'm using the build-in equaliser with the oratory1990 preset. Second, I'm using RC-20 Retro Color as a VST using the VST Effects Support plugin.



Would I be better off if I equalised using another VST instead of the built-in equaliser or is the current setup fine? What order is everything applied in, does MusicBee equalise before passing the signal to the VST or is it the other way around?

Thank you
