    A song by Yuri “Shikardos” and Eliar. The same recording is used for every preview, making characters easier to compare. The preview plays through the browser; in the player, this curve is applied through the SHIKARDOS engine.

    In the player: equalizer screen → PRESETS → Import AutoEq → select the downloaded file. You can adjust the curve there. More in the guide →

    A character adds two or three gentle filters to the base correction. Pre-gain is recalculated from the combined curve to keep the equalizer from driving the limiter.
