Hello!
I ran this request past the amazing Bojcha and he provided a really good preset and I'm fully happy with it. But, I wanted to open it up to the crowd and see what other recommendations are. I'm not looking for anyone to create a new preset, however. Just looking for recommendations on existing ones.

Here's the situation:
I recently started hosting or DJing the weekly Thunder Alley at our local bowling alley. They have 24 lanes and all that you would normally expect in a bowling alley, hardwood floors, cinderblock walls, a relatively low ceiling with the typical dropped ceiling tiles. Their audio system is pretty decent. I don't have specifics. But they have 4 large tower loudspeakers (maybe 4 foot tall) mounted above the pinsetters or back wall where every other one is facing alternating left/right directions. I don't think they are wired in stereo. I find that it can get pretty loud without distorting. As I'm not really a DJ, I am using Station Playlist to play the music in live assist mode. I'm using stereo tool DSP to process the audio. Audio comes out of my laptop headphone jack into a Rolls 424 Mixer out to their big power amp (again, no specifics on that).

What Bojcha recommended was his Chaotic preset. This preset does a great job of leveling things and not being super bassy, which I assume prevents a lot of distortion when it gets loud. It sounds really good! But like I said, I'd like some more ideas given these dynamics and this environment. What would you use?
Thanks!

What style(s) of music are you playing?

Just as an example, if you want something a little bassy and loud to bring out the punch and snap of 80s and 90s pop, as well as make vocals and details in music clear even at very low levels, I have a simulation of a CRL stack in this post > viewtopic.php?t=23959

Something like soft rock is gonna do best with a lighter Optimod style preset > viewtopic.php?f=10&t=31101

Classic and modern rock may benefit more from a harder Omnia-style preset > viewtopic.php?t=34639

Edit: And of course, forgot to mention, there's a ton of built-in presets to try, all really good.

Thanks! I will try these out! I play mostly 80's-00's pop/rock/rap with a few current pop tunes. I try to be mass-appeal. It's all played loud and upbeat.
