Womaz,

I don't see any reason to think that a tone adjustment is a problem. In fact, I would think that adjusting the tone control frequency, and then adjusting up or down a few dB is exactly what the controls should be used for. In an anechoic chamber, in a testing or design situation, flat would be the trick.

Persons doing room correction are doing exactly the same thing, except in a more complex manner.

Instrument amplifiers, bass in my case, have tone controls as well. And I realized that they are needed to adjust the sound to suit the room size and reflectivity. I twiddle the knobs to get back to the sound I want in each particular room- or to suit annoyingly loud guitar players. Drag your gear from place to place and it sounds different; especially the bottom end.

I would not, personally, be adjusting the tone controls all the time. Each song is different, so making the bass or treble consistent for all recordings in not logical. All instruments are different, and the Dev really reveals those differences. I also found SAM at 0% was better than SAM off. I think you are doing things exactly correctly.

Just my depressingly-low 0.02 canadian.
