Your "before" doesn't have the same honky, peaky bass boom that mine did. Did you get that from the same posting? Koz

Mine came down as:
unedited_raw_live_128kb.mp3

I think I see. There are more files up there now, hence the 01.

My original clip shows the same frequency analysis as before, but boom is gone.

Twilight Zone Moment.

I don't equalize anything in the speaker pathway. What the [email protected]#$.

Maybe my bass cabinet is no more. I'll look when the sun comes up and I can see what I'm doing. The main speakers are terrific, but they don't have good action down where pipe organs live -- or that thick, heavy string on a Bass. Koz

Past the bass oddity, your versions blows mine out of the water. Koz

Remember GR is going to ask you for specific curves, XMLs, settings and options of everything you did. Keep notes. Koz
