  1. When playing your file select the sound you want, basic, vocal, jazz, pop, classical, or movies
    and compare to no bobcat.  Use the sound you like best.  
  2. Selection basic 3 works on any program material.  Basic 2 has a darker sound.  Basic 1 Is slightly
    wider.  All the other selections are specialized for program sources with various problems.  Choosing
    one of these will improve or degrade the sound depending  upon how well the processing is matched
    to the problem.  Use the one you like best.  Compare the sound to no bobcat which is the same as
    bypass but 5 dB softer.  The lower level prevents overload due extreme low frequency boost.
  3. Clicking on the bobcat face at the top opens information on operation at burwenbobcat.com.
  4. If you are too busy to think about selections, click Go to Basic Bobcat to go to the a small window with
    only one processing selection.  This selection has very little low frequency compensation, enabling
    the same level as bypass.
  5. Use BURWEN BOBCAT before or after equalizers, usually after compressors.
