Tried to look for this but could not really get a good response on this question previously answered on this subreddit.

So I have watched plenty of videos on YouTube and cannot really understand what is the right way of taming harshness on amp sim guitars. The amp sim I am using is IK multimedia amplitube. I usually use low pass filter and try to cut all the fizz above 8K but there is still this ringing frequency at or around 2K and 4K that bothers a lot specially when listening in mono. I try to notch it out statically and then bring back the brightness through high shelf after tape saturation. It works but I hear people say that instead of static use dynamic eq to cut notches. Is this really the way to go?

I have been cross thinking myself and perhaps after getting good IR in amp sim I am thinking of using post EQ in amp sim and then shaping eq in mixing. This sounds like a better mindset if fixing at the source. Looking to hear back from all of the pros here for any tips and tricks

To all my friends who have had Highlander with mileage over 100k or even 200k… what maintenance took you there? Did you just do oil change, spark plugs change and wear and tear replacement like tires, brakes or struts or did you perform transmission fluid change, brakes fluid change, EFI and all that dealership scams?

As the title suggests, can someone please guide on how to make cuts on crown molding for seamless connection in the corner where two walls meet? I am using 5 1/2in circular saw and a square. To get the perfect 90 deg cuts which angle should I cut the molding? Is it 45 deg or less than that?
