Lightbulb Re: Suggestions for BFD and REW Tips


Hi Sonnie, I made it over!!

My $0.02........

My experience with the BFD and REW has shown that I prefer different house curves for different source material. For movies I like the curve to be flat, and for music I like to have the lower frequencies boosted a little. But how much boost?

This is where the BFD's multiple profiles or presets can be used to good effect to create multiple versions of your preferred house curve.

What I would say, however, is that without a MIDI connection to the BFD from the computer I would have found this a complete PITA! So my advice is to get a MIDI set up as soon as you can.

Then you can easily create multiple profiles like the ones below.



The red (top) is the unfiltered resposnse, and you can see the other presets I've dialled (well Midi'd) in. #1 is for movies and #2 for music. #3 and #4 are good, but #2 has the edge.

I would have had even less hair if I had not used a MIDI set up to get all those filters in place.
