thanks for the replies...
I've been running DPA (4060) > SBM-1 (line-in) > d8
the bass can be boomy. when played back on my primary system, which is really top notch, the recordings sound great. But when played back on car stereos, or on my Karma, they are really bass heavy...
While I have the switchable batt box, I never use it because I run line-in. I guess I could buy the -22db att cable (signal s too hot otherwise), and use the rolloff filter and go mic-in, but isn't there a way I can set all this in software, doing what the box does with hardware?
thinking about it, I could use that as a starting point, and fine tune on a case by case basis. Some don't need anything - acoustic and/or non-PA shows. But the floor at Primus, GBA, and surely Phish in a few weeks
can come out quite boomy, and I would like to get rid of some of that, if possible...
for seeding, I just include a rough approximation via a foobar EQ setting, so the FLACs are unaltered...
but for CDs I burn for my non-taper/trader friends, and for my own curiosity, I would like to know what options I have via software...
Thanks again for all of the assistance and interest.
