The only time when I have done so is on the dpl1 and at1 pages of my website. I could add a few if I wanted. E.g. a four band parametric EQ of which only the first section works, that can produce a peak of +30 dB when you set if for a -10 dB shelf, and that has some other problems as well. I wonder if the author ever tested it. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
