* The equalizer is used to turn down the bass drum. I would consider this a normal bass response, If you want more bass you can:
- Turn up the [Ntrack Equalizer] to a flat setting or more than flat.
- Turn up the [Low Contour] on the Sonic Maximizer
- Turn up the [Low Mix] on the Harmonic Maximizer
- Use A Equalizer after the recording on a free audio player like WinAmp.
