Removed all the high pass filters / low cuts I was using.
It's nice in my opinion, the USA Pre (Triaxis) Lead 2 yellow I gravitate towards is easier to tame in the low end. I need less gain on this FW 21 beta, less speaker compression too. Seems like. I can use Bass on 3 or 4 and it's not a tubby soup. Often I'd have to drop it to zero on this model, but usually Bass was around 1 or 2 at most before.
Removed multiband comp too, was using that sometimes to keep lows at bay.
I've been practicing more than usual the last couple weeks too, so that might help with me feeling like things "sound" better.
Using "Hard" in the speaker page, instead of default medium. I just like it that way for high gain.
It's always difficult for me to tell how much is me fooling myself and how much is an effect of the changes made. Doesn't seem like a subtle difference to me, not in the low end. Seems quite pronounced. especially in delay and reverb tails
But my ears are geezers too, random times I have nothing over 8khz in one ear sometimes LOL
Anyway. Yeah, something going on, love the palm mutes, haven't tried it in a mix.
