Does anyone else have a screen that looks like this? What do you use to get the most out of your stereo/headphones?

Stereo Plugins: HangLoose Convolver
Applications: REW, Focus Fidelity
Sure… Although I am stereo only… I use the HangLoose Convolver for Digital Room Correction with FIR filters that create a “flat” response around a ~B&K target curve… To this baseline I add one of several Old Skool Mastering EQ emulations such as the Manley Massive Passive, GML 8200, etc to add a little extra spice…
I usually don’t keep the plugin windows open once they have all been properly parameterized…

I am headphone-centric… My advice… Keep It Simple… I modulate all PCM files to 1-bit 5.6MHz PDM (DSD128) in r8Brain after using 112dB’s ‘Redline Monitor’ HRTF DSP (Audio Units plug-in) good to 384kHz…
My Redline Monitor settings:
Nice gear. Convolution with Focus Fidelity really improved clarity in my setup. I typically use a Harmon’sh curve with some adjustments i.e. BBC dip (I just like how it smooths out the sound) and small dip at 200hz. I will check out some of the items you listed as I am not familiar which was the point of my post. Thank you!
Thanks, I will check it out!
