Have you tried making your own EQ presets?
I haven't. The Volume Logic Plug-in says it isn't compatible with Intel macs yet so I guess I can't use it yet.

By all means redirect me if you've already covered this- but I just bought myself a new mac laptop so that I could DJ more easily (compared to ipod or lugging my big old bubble mac around) and I'm a bit confused as to which file type and sampling rate I should go with in itunes.

And my sister, who is now a professional jazz singer, got her start from Teddy Ruxpin of all places. He had her singing jazz standards when she was 4!
