[QUOTE="tobey, post: 7302270, member: 631789"] Your EQ settings are kind of jacked up. The "speaker in a bucket" tone is caused by too much mid range, so you want to attenuate that a little, not boost it. Same thing with the highs, if they're too loud, you want to cut them back, not boost them. Also, the extreme shrillness of the highs is due to the fact that you are boosting a very specific set of high frequencies around 8Khz by having the Q factor set to 01N. If you use a wider Q factor, your adjustments will effect a wider number of bands around whatever frequency EQ 2 is set to, which should help make things blend better. I think if you try experimenting with a wider Q factor and toning down the mids and highs, you'll get the sound you desire. Give something like this a try: EQ 1: Lows +2, Mids -1, Highs 0 EQ 2: Low 80Hz 01W, Mids 500Hz 02W, Highs 8KHz 02W [/QUOTE]
