Should dynamic EQ be on the majority of the time??

I also have a separate option called Cinema Filter and Late Night which both are for making loud tracks quieter.

Thanks
I would only use a dynamic EQ if I didn't care about accurately reproducing the intended soundtrack. As accuracy is important to me, I wouldn't touch Dynamic EQ with a bargepole.

Everything being 'softer' isn't a problem - there's a volume control for just this purpose.

If there are sleeping kids or something, definitely engage the Late Night control, but I wouldn't use anything that purports to adjust the EQ or volume away from the original sound design by choice.
