You can start by turning the loudness off. Adjust the 16 band one by one until you find what sounds best on that particular range. BMX and COMP are compression features for mp3 type files.

I wouldn't recommend or DE recommend it. It is user dependent and relies on the tatstes of the listener. Some like it, some don't. I would definitely adjust your EQ with the BBE off and then add it later if you want.

As stated earlier start with turning the LOUDNESS OFF. Loudness is for getting good bass and highs response at low volumes. So never set the EQ with that on. Next you need to go through each band on the EQ one at a time. Start with it flat and take each band all the way up and then decrease it til it sounds natural. Do this with each band.

On a side note, if you know someone that has an RTA that would be a good starting point towards setting a good curve.

BBE is a sound processing technology developed for recording studios that aligns phase relationships so the music has greater presence. This means, in your car, BBE adjusts low, mid, and high frequencies so the sounds arrive at your ears at the same time. This ensures that the lows are tight and well defined and the highs are clear and finely detailed. Listen to your favorite band and hear the true difference between guitar and bass.
