Genuinely interested in whether, when you're in the studio you look at a track and say "that bass should be in range X to Y" and mix accordingly, or whether, ultimately, EARS play a bigger part in the process.

I'm NOT being sarcastic and I KNOW how touchy people get. Guess I'm trying to figure otu whether I need further study of such things instead of "muddling along".
No, the ears ALWAYS come first. However, this 'encyclopedic knowledge' gives me a great starter point. For example, in this case, I might listen and say "I need more presence" and therefore I'd pull up a parametric somewhere in that range and go from there.
