[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 2840868, member: 570419"] -6dB tones = bad idea. Max bass boost = worse idea. My guess is that you have no idea what the -6dB tones do nor do you really understand bass boost. When you crank your bass boost, you add a large increase (18dB increase in your case) centered around a certain frequency. Most are centered around 40-45hz or so. After that point, the increase in output drops. Then you went and probably set your gains with a -6dB tone that was around 50-60hz if you followed that lame tutorial.
