Try this: Set up your filter for a fairly narrow boosted band. Sweep it up and down the range, listening for it to make the plicks worse. This tells you the frequency to cut. Experiment with depth of cut, and bandwidth. Good luck, and don't expect miracles. Have you tried different

This is a complicated question, but basically the Rodes are really too bright for lute. The Studio Projects B1 (not the other models, only the B1) is the Budget King at $89 and the Oktava is fine--the omni capsules are better for lute of you have the right acoustic, and you can get a
