The observant will have noticed that I still have issues in the lower regions!

Which is why I am expecting to add the following GIK Acoustics products, then go back to tuning the Magico Sub Bass integration…

PS: There are many other view modes available in REW. In this posting I have not used the Overlay presentation tab - but that can be very helpful as indicated in the earlier posting by Mikebu here.
