Scott,

Good point. I guess Darren will have to answer more on this and maybe modify the guidelines a little. I believe he was sticking to drums and bass ... for now, but the issue of out of the box (factory) versus user EQ settings BEFORE recording these takes is a good point. Also remember that some keyboards like the Ketrons have preset factory EQ settings too. My recommendation would be to keep all flat (like Donny did ... and I did same for the Ajamsonic demos above). But then, this may not be the way you play your keyboard in real life.

Too many variables ....
