Has anyone found good EQ settings for the Garritan Acoustic guitar sound, so that it does not sound muddy? I analyzed the frequencies and found that the 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz and 600Hz dominate. I know the 400Hz band is the "dull" frequency and that perceived loudness is not determined by the amplitudes in the spectrum (q.v.). Below are my settings but far from sweet. Maybe someone has a better pattern.

20-40Hz @ -20dB
50Hz @ -9dB
60Hz @ -3dB
80Hz @ +3dB
100Hz-315Hz @ -3dB
400 @ -9dB
500 @ -2dB
650Hz-1.25k @ 0dB
1.5k @ +3dB
2k @ +6dB
2.5k @ +5dB
3k @ +3dB
4k-10k @ 0dB
12.5k @ -3dB
16k-20k @ -20dB
