1: No, afterwards!

In regards to his question, and partially to do with mine that's unanswered about the clipping in multiband:
Does the "Maximum boost from" slider then take into account the setting in bandpass and shift the boost start point up to the highpass setting? In other words, I have a highpass at 35 Hz, which is supposedly the bottom-end of my Logitech Z-2200s. If I leave the Maximum boost slider at 0, is the max boost at 0 or 35?
First any audio below 35 Hz is removed (well, theoretically. The filter isn't that good. It does get very strict when you select 'non-phase linear' filtering.
Then it just processes the audio. At that point it doesn't matter whether there was audio below 35 Hz in the input signal or not: It's not there anymore so nothing is done with it.
So audio below 35 Hz 'does not exist' as far as the Bass Boost filter is concerned. And it doesn't matter why it doesn't exist (wasn't there in the first place, or was filtered out).
Hope this answers your question...
Not really.
My question is concerning the slider "Maximum Boost From" in Bass Boost. That value is a decaying value that seems to want 100 Hz of operational room. My issue is I'd rather not boost any higher than about 135 Hz due to some potential crossover bleed-through. I'm not sure if the subwoofer is crossed at 120 or 150. I had been trying to tinker around with figuring out the crossover point, but the people I live with have extreme fits when I'm playing only sounds that low at high volumes, so my testing is rather slow going. Again, only by ear here, no meters.
So, if I set a Maximum Boost from 0 to 60, your other end of that slider wants to go to 160. What I'm wondering about is if it was any way feasible to have the Bass Boost take any value of a highpass as its' starting point.
In other words, if I set a highpass value of 60, I'd like to leave the Maximum Boost From 0 to x slider set at 0 and have Bass Boost know that a highpass had already been set ahead of it and automagically use the highpass value as where it starts applying boost. This would make the boost decay (from 60 to 100) happen at a much more rapid pace, but it would mean that I wouldn't have to have boost in the area from 100-150Hz, or if I figure out the cross is indeed at 120 Hz, I wouldn't be feeding any boosted signal to the satellites and could continue bass boost until 120. They are 3 inch drivers and, in my opinion really can't reproduce 130-150 that well, so that's why I'm trying to avoid boosting that range.
Alternatively, being able to set the "Drop to no boost" at less than 100 Hz delta between those two values would work too. In your current software terms, I'd like to have:
Maximum Boost from 0 up to 60 Hz
Then drop to no boost at 100 Hz
Or 120Hz if I discover that works ok
Is there a reason why you stick to 100Hz ranges for Bass Boost? Percentage calculation is smoother, or is it an actual auditory difference if you don't provide that much room for the decay?

Oddly, the error only affects Hard Limit - which I had turned off during my final test.
