Hey There,
All of a sudden topic just dies..
after all that discussion...is there no confirmation out there that LeoD suggested settings ..work.
ESPECIALLY SILENT ON ISSUE IS STEVE i.e Mr YAMAHA....if you're lurking there Steve...I did send you a private message, which to my dissappointment has not been acknowledged...perhaps you or your minions(should you be on vacation) would care to comment.
I have been using the concept of increasing high end Master EQ settings now on last 5 gigs ...very successfully, so I do believe that this one is now sorted on your behalf...with of course lots of help from other Forum Members.....
So Steve I dont think you should remain silent on the issue.

Respectfully,

LeoD...Long established YAMAHA Customer.
