I use ReaEQ because I think it's very accurate, plus you can have as many bands as you want. I"ve got a default ReaEQ that has 10 bands and each band has a bandwidth of .28 octaves except band 1 & 10, Band 1 is a Low Shelf and band 10 is a high shelf. That way you start off with a small BW and can expand it as needed.

You might ask "why such small bandwidths"? If you use Span and put the "Smoothing" into 1/6th octave, you should be able to see how the the short BW can help. Also, I think it's easier and better to start with a short BW and widen it as necessary instead of the other way around.
Sure, I follow. I'm just not sure I understand what to boost or cut.
