Maverick Discussion

I play the sub at night, and I listen exclusively on my Sennheiser HD 280's. 

The right headphones make all the difference for me.

I use Sennheiser headphones directly jacked into my phone or my computer and listen to it that way.  I don't use the phone speakers.

Well, apparently even the way he's playing Maverick seemed to be THAT much closer to someone who's genuinely living and breathing that particular title.

Given the fact that somehow Shannon's "premiere" tester of Maverick didn't really follow the instructions (not even close) at all, what more could one say then?

I always questioned the rationale behind the decision to provide three sets of "universal" recommendations with the same number of clicks on so many different phones out there, why don't we check 'em out first?

I'd just like to point out that Duke doing his own thing is not something I encourage, but accept because he has shown remarkable ability to find his own best settings and usage patterns, and he does not make stupid mistakes.  His ability to do this accurately comes from an exceptional ability for his subconscious to accurately communicate with his conscious mind, which is a very rare skill.  For every Duke with this ability I have seen hundreds or more people who thought they could do that who couldn't, or who thought they knew better than I do how to use the program, or looked at people like Duke and decided that they don't have to follow the instructions.

As for "universal recommendations", they're not universal or recommendations.  They're the specific volumes that that type of phone van handle best to give you the closest possible match to what I am intending for you to use to get the best result, and they are specifically instructions.  There is a big difference between recommendations and instructions. 

You ONLY ever deviate from the instructions of they do not work for you using any of the three formats, or you have a proven track record of being able to accurately intuit the correct settings for you.

Otherwise, you're going to "logic" yourself right into results that are significantly less than ideal.
