I was just tweaking my monitor mixes outdoors, setting limiters and a baseline EQ. I dropped the Rubberfilter low cut plugin I was using and decided to switch base monitor EQ's to the Studio EQ. With that and MAnalyzer I got a pretty decent sounding EQ and used the low cut rolled up to about 200Hz to drop the bottom end and help protect the little 8"s in my monitors. I set two limiters, one for each of my monitor amps so I stored the Studio EQ preset, stored a full channel preset with post-fade limiter and pre-fade EQ for one amp then recalled the limiter for the other amp and stored a second full channel preset. I now had the same EQ but the wrong limiter for the current amp I was using, so I recalled the correct channel preset just to test the settings. The EQ seems to recall fine and the low-cut shows the 200Hz value but suddenly I had tons of bass in the monitor. Tried recalling the EQ preset and still had tons of bass. Rolled the low-cut up 10Hz and the low-cut kicked in.
A seemingly related issue, the default Studio EQ state shows Off on the low-cut value but the pick list shows 100Hz as checked. You have to select some other value then reselect 100Hz before "Off" is no longer displayed and the low-cut is enabled.
