Im definitely NOT saying you should spend any money on ANY software. What I’m saying is that if I give you all the filters setting I applied in Pro Q3, it will inevitably create heavy phase shifting which will result in frequency cancellation. That defeat the purpose of your goal as far as I understand.Ugh, this is terribly annoying. I feel like Equalizer/Peace APO is so popular because it's effective, free, easy to use and widespread . No way I'm spending money on software that a free option replicates exactly what I would use it for.
Pedalboard seems to fail as, even after renaming the .ffp to .fxp, the preset won't load into the software. The idea I had for 'let's make an EQ setup that is generally good for musical enjoyment' seems to require professional software now .
In accordance with what you said earlier, @martel80 , there's no good way to translate those FFQ3 settings into something that everyone can use? I still think it's a good idea that an EQ can be made for everyone to use - not just for those that have $170 audio software for these headphones, which will be about <1% of the users of these headphones, I'd guess.. If you can write down some EQ filters, I can set them up in Peace and upload the file here so that you and others can listen and tweak it later.
Thanks.
If you can find a system wide EQ that has a linear phase option, then you could implement the settings we have in Pro Q3 and get great result.
So whenever you find one, let me know and I’ll give you the +/- 20 filter setting we created.
To repeat myself, if you cannot find one, you should seriously consider applying only a very few (4 or 5 maximum) filter correction in your EQ. Make sure not to use sharp Q points and use a broad but effective high shelf and low shelf filter + 3 of the biggest mid range flaws corrected as bell .
I can give you such settings but, and Rover will be a testimony to this, it won’t be anything close to what we use.
Your call !!
Let me know.
I’m always happy to help.
Edit : to put things in context, you are comparing EQ apo to Fabfilter Pro Q3 and saying they both do the same. To me, knowing the difference, it’s like saying you got a Sony Walkman you found in a pawn shop for 5$ and feel annoyed because you don’t have the functionality we use in our DAC. Don’t get me wrong , I love tape decks but to me it feels like you are trying to achieve hi-rez from Under par software and feel frustrated because it cannot achieve something only a very specific type of software can achieve. I feel your pain about putting money out of your wallet only to get the advantage of having higher quality but the reality is that it’s pretty much how it is in everything in life unless you find a way through and that usually involve a lot of time and effort researching such solutions.
You can settle for less and be happy ever after. Just don’t try to do the finicky stuff we did with the wrong tools. You’ll ruin your experience even more.
