Acoustic Portrait Epiphany

I have not been totally pleased with the sound of my Allen 311 in my small space. No matter what I did, adjusting the total volume or upping the gain the Acoustic Portrait, it still had the bright in-your-face chamber sound of the George Wright recordings which I don't like. Today while listening to one of those CDs I realized what I needed to try. I went to the Acoustic Portrait and selected a much larger room and turned down the gain so there was not such a prevalent echoing reverb. It worked! The larger room Acoustic Portrait absorbed some of the high frequency in-your-face type sound. Acoustic Portrait does so much more than control reverb. The organ sounds really great now.
