Hi darren, just a note for the last post. You say you need to push down the first two sliders on the bass? Do you have a subwoofer or something, or an amplifier attached that boosts the bass? Because you are talking about very low frequencies (especially the first slider) and as far as I could hear, there is not much wrong with the realtracks frequencies, nor I can imagine the VST plugins would be giving that problem. You could compress the bass a bit and make it easier to control its volume, but an EQ seems to be something that one would only do as an artistic variation...

I'll be back...
