Overemphasized Regions

From the Har-Bal tutorial, the phrase "overemphasized regions" is used to denote those areas which, after applying intuitQ, require further manipulation using intuitnull. Is there any further direction you can offer as to why one area gets it and another doesn't even though they appear to have the same type of trace? What's the criteria?

The criteria is critical listening. Listen to the track pre and post intuitQ. If the post intuitQ is more dissagreeable than the orginal then look at the pre-and post intuitQ spectrums to see which part might be responsible for that. Visually isolate the parts where things have been boosted and things have been cut. Then use intuitNull & undo on those sections one by one to determine which has a positive impact and which has a negative impact. Then re-apply intuiNull to the regions that had a positive effect. More often than not the negative impacts stem from overemphasised regions but there is no way of knowing this with certainty without testing the hypothesis through listening.
