I am trying to understand exactly what the GREEN, before correction curves represent. For instance, when I see the green curves peak at +8 dB over the zero line at 65 Hz, is ARC 3 telling me that my control room is boosting or hyping that frequency, causing me to cut that frequency when mixing? Or is it telling me that it boosted +8 dB at 65 Hz to compensate for an 8 dB cut the room is making? I know that whatever it's doing is supposed to be making the room closer to being flat, but I want to understand exactly what the green curves are implying. Having said that, the ORANGE curves represent the correction. If the ORANGE curve is at +2 dB over the zero line 65 Hz, does that mean that despite the correction, my control room is still boosting +2dB @ 65 Hz which would cause me to still slightly cut what I am hearing at 65 Hz? Just want to understand what I am looking at instead of blindly trusting what ARC 3 has done to correct the room deficiencies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
