Sorry. Bands 5 and 6 should remain at 0.

Actually, the settings are not very different. I'm starting from 0, and 
using relatively little boost. By boosting the midrange, their low cut 
relative to mid-range is pretty similar, and their boost of the two 
higher bands is similar, relative to the midrange. BUT -- one thing we 
learned in pro audio is that CUT EQ is better than BOOST EQ, primarily 
because using too much boost can cause the signal chain to run out of 
headroom (that is, clip).

And remember I said 3-6 on the top two bands, and get reports.
