Thanks, That's about where I usually pull it up to anyway. I do want to download the AP soon as I can swing it financially .

You tell it where the treble bridge starts, and you get one limit for the bass, another for the treble (slight differences between old Windows and new iOS/Android versions).

Took me 17 minutes. Generally the bass sections take very little adjustment; the longest plain wire the most; and the top section varies a lot.
