Step two: download it and import it into Reaper as a new track. For this tutorial I'll be using Master of Puppets by Metallica.

Step one: find an isolated track of the guitar that you're trying to simulate. This can make you sound incredibly close, but it will take a lot of tinkering to get there. Brief disclaimer: this is a free method, so it obviously won't be a 100% spot-on tone recreation. Hey all!So I was fucking around with ReaFir and discovered how you can recreate a guitar tone by using it. Rather than trying to force the 58X into a Harman curve, this compensation aims to keep Sennheiser's intended sound signature while only compensating for unwanted resonances and dips, to improve the timbre of instruments making them sound more natural and realistic. The frequency response compensation is completely different in sound signature from the Harman target. Finally, it's possible to disable only this bass boost with one button press and hear the effect immediately, so I can tune the FR-compensation part independently without being biased by a bass boost which makes it sound "better". Second, the bass boost is completely subjective: one friend wanted much more bass, and another thought this was too much.

You should use a linear-phase bass boost on these headphones for best effect. First, the lower frequencies cause resolution details and need more dynamic range from your DAC when boosted with a minimum-phase low shelf, due to a phase shift. The tuning has been split up into two parts: a subjective linear-phase subbass boost/extension, and an objective minimum-phase frequency response compensation. Now I feel like I've found a curve +- 0.1dB that sounds perfect for many different genres. Over the past two years I've tried most of Oratory's OE 2018 Parametric EQ presets and practiced bringing out the best of these headphones using many different Foobar2000 DSPs and VSTs. However, the Harman target hides many of the good qualities of the 58X headphones: the warm atmosphere created by the mids is gone, the imaging in the upper treble is overshadowed by shouty upper mids, and the bass is bloated compared to the lower mids. I was personally not very impressed by the 58X out of the box two years ago, so I started looking into tuning them.

Oratory is a god in this community, and rightfully so: he knows how to make headphones sound exactly like the Harman target no matter their natural frequency response. This post was inspired by a recent review I read here:
