DADman Reference Lock

Happy New Year!

So... after installing my speakers and calibrating my system I was listening to some music last week.

I accidentally toggled Ref on for Reference Lock (On/Off) in DADman and found out what it's for. I had been monitoring at -31 dB before clicking it. I got a big surprise clicking it to say the least.. A quick dim, then cut, then turning back down the CR Monitor level to resolve it. I'll never select Ref when listening to music again, haha. Katy Perry brings the thunder at reference level.

I should've re-read the manual before playing around. Just passing it on in case it's helpful to anyone starting out.
