Hey Durwood,

1. I think I'm ditching Allocator. I just can't seem to get it to work properly. It messes up the sound. It's not popping or clicking but the sound just goes down so low its hard to hear. I maxed out all the levels in there but still nothing helps. So I searched around the net and Found something called Izotope Spectron, which has a built in Filter option where after playing around with it for few hours, I can totally bypass frequencies to have the type of filter I want. It could be someones dream where they can get a filter order where there is no step. It's just vertically flat downwards. I'll get a pic when I get home. basically, with it you can have a filter order down to straight flat downwards. I didn't even think that was possible lol. But I don't think I would need such a thing. Only downside to that is that it uses resources a little more than Allocator because you have to run one instance of it per stereo channel. If you want to try it out, let me know. I'll send it over to you.

2. I thought my problems would be solved by this , but then the world is never perfect. I ran into another problem. For example, let's say I'm running only one instance of Spectron for channel 1 & 2 to process for low signal. Then I do the same for channel 3 & 4 for mid. And finally 5 & 6 for high. So basically I have 3 instances of Spectron running. Now if I connect ch1&2 output from the Spectron into the ch1&2 input into WAVE OUT, I can plug my headphones into the FRONT (channel 1 & 2 in this case) and get low signal. Perfect signal! But then lets say I ALSO connect the 3 & 4 fro msecond Spectro nengine to 3 &4 input on ASIO WAVE OUT, then the LOW and MID signals both get summed to the Front channel on the soundcard. If I take out the headphone jack from the front channel and put it in the next stereo channel over (3 & 4), same thing happens. It gets summed to that channel also. It's so weird. I would assume that if I connect each channel from all 3 Spectron engines into the first 6 channels on the ASIO WAVE OUT device, they should be routed to each respective channel outputted but it rather gets summed to ALL channels. WTH could be causing this?!?

3. And another problem I'm encountering is that the FRONT channel in the soundcard seems to be way louder that the other 3 channels. I know thr frotn channel has a special headphone ohm loading and buffer size. Could this be the reason why?
