You know, I never tried that preset until you mentioned it - put it on a mix
today (acoustic ballad) - very nice. I'm with you DJ - I never use presets,
at least without tweaking significantly, but this one really does sound nice
as is on some mixes. Probably not right for every mix, but it does soften
up the dry sounds and adds a nice air.
Thanks for giving that one a try and posting about it.
Regards,
Dedric

Hey, if it sounds good, it sounds good.
I keep coming back to, I think it was that Schnieder guru-mixer guy, whose
definition of mixing was "turning knobs until it sounds good."
Rock on,
