[QUOTE="The Camry, post: 8366968, member: 657974"] spent awhile today and the last few days tweaking with settings and Ive got kind of an idea for different things that has worked i used the tape measure method to set time alignments. Works pretty well. Ive got a tone generator on my ipod so i just generate a tone for the specific bands and use the l/r +/- of the bands to center the image. Ive got great imaging. So heres a question. Ive been told to never boost a freq band....Well if it sounds better and more detailed boosted then what do i do. i was thinking what if i start all bands at say -2. That way i could boost the ones i want by 2 if needed and the rest of the bands still stay flat. Is that a good way to go about it?
