Thx for the great visual analysis! That answers a question I didn't know I actually had before I saw the answer ;)

Great post!
it's nice to see people running real analysis to help those a little less tech savvy.

Yes!! and I've done some thinking!! It's even more than that. Based on my knowledge of frequencies that hit hard and sound good from my EDM background as an in the box producer/mastering engineer you want to use ISOLATOR when you are cutting frequencies and you want to use EQUALIZER to boost!!! Based on the different frequencies they control. :)

I love the SP and the Community! I may come across another data analysis I'd like to perform in the near future.

Anyway to visually represent the difference between the 303 vinyl sim compared to the 404sx? This would be very interesting

why don't you explain its use or anything that this post taught you?

i see a visual representation of something that i use every time i sit at my sp by ear. something that i already knew was going on is represented in front of me. what new information did you gather from this post?
