Ah ha....but therein lies the rub no? If the compression on the pink noise would effect the spectrum....wouldn't it affect music tracks the same way? Isn't it all relative? Maybe not with MP3 compression though...the EQ effects of compression might totally depend on the content, the algorithm used, the bitrate, etc...

But my theory is this.... If, hypothetically, 2000hz was boosted in MP3's....and therefore the pink noise was showing up un-even......I would set the EQ to compensate...and that would be a good thing...because music would have the same 2k spike....and my new EQ settings would correct it....

Its probably not this exact...but its better than nothing and I don't have anything better.

By the way....are there any threads addressing the subject of ideal EQ curves. This EQ is EXTREMELY flexible with the parametric (full parametric I might add...with both frequency and Q adjustable. Its easy to get out of control with it....
