I never said it was the bible lol. Also thsts not really an accurate description of how the target was formed.

Perhaps you should read or listen to some of Sean Olives talks he describes the process quite well. Also the target is just a baseline for your finer Eq changes.

I will check it out, thanks. I wasn't claiming that you consider it as the bible, mine was just a consideraton. I agree on your definition.

But recently I did a test with all my HPs. For each one, I compared (obv with matched pre-gain volumes) the Oratory preset with another Oratory preset but with some modificaton based on my tastes and with a third preset, built looking to compensated FR graphs and simply correcting manually all spikes and dips. The results shows that Oratory preset were never pleasing and accurate as mine. Did the test also with a friend that is a sound engineer and House music producer (more trained ears than mine) and while he retains that Oratory presets are more balanced than stock sound, he also finds that my personal presets sound more linear and accurate. With oratory presets I usually perceive too much bass, voices are laid back and highs are a little bit "muted".
