  "_note": "Rough draft target curves per genre, in the spirit of tonal-balance tools (a target curve per genre). Values are approximate, reasoned from commonly known spectral traits of each genre (sub weight, high-frequency energy, dynamics). They are NOT official measurements, NOT taken from iZotope or any vendor, not measured from reference tracks, and not source-verified. hiphop/edm/pop were set by the project owner on 2026-10-20; the other 13 are nightly drafts awaiting review. The UI tells users they are rough starting points. 2026-10-21: every bandShareDb was shifted by one constant per genre (about -1.5 to -2.4 dB removed) so band powers sum to 0 dB, matching how measured shares are computed; curve shapes are unchanged. Band edges are now low 60-200 Hz and lowMid 200-500 Hz, but the low/lowMid targets were authored for 60-250/250-500 and have not been re-derived.",
