Wish Speaker Page Wishes

I have a few suggestions for the speaker page: 1. User impedance curves. I have recently begun capturing impedance data for my speaker collection using REW, having measured over 35 speaker/cab combinations so far. It would be fantastic if it were possible to import impedance data captured using...

Envelope 'filters'

I think it would be great if the envelope controller also had filter controls that work in a similar manner to the compressor's filter control. If there was both a lowpass AND a hipass filter, we could select only a specific window of frequencies that will react to playing dynamics.
