Really? I've never noticed that... got an extremely offensive example I
could check out? Along those lines, I've noticed that on my own DAW, if you
run a spectrum analyzer plug-in on any given track, there's often a few
peaks (not high-level ones, maybe -50 or -60 db IIRC, I'd have to
double-check to be certain) up in the 30-33k range... do you think this
could be some kind of harmonic of this monitor leakage?
