"Elevators".
Lol.

There's no indication on individual sweetspots and trouble-areas. I already know these (having a sound engineer diploma and working in a recording studio for 8+ years), but it would be very helpful for those starting out. It's also missing alot of other important instruments.

The image might lead people to believe you can (and should) have the same amount of instruments in all frequency ranges. I usually go by the rule that you can have many more simultaneous signals in the treble than in the bass because of the shorter wavelength and thus, the higher resolution that comes from this. That's why I prefer drawing such things as a triangle instead:

And I would never lowpass the various instruments to "stop" at the right side of the image, the way you see on this picture.

Yep, compare a cluster chord high on piano (acceptable) VS in the bass (OMG what are you doing)
