I recall hearing that equalizers should never be set higher than 0db and should only be lowered because they can remove data well but not synthesize it. I plan to perfect a parametric curve in Electri-q but I find it weird that 0db is in the middle of the screen instead of at the top. Are they saying that this eq can do it correctly? Even if the preamp is lowered by at least the amount the EQ raises it at most, doesn't creating signal where there was none make it bad to use it above the 0 line?
Another thing is the peak type. There is "Type 1" used everywhere in the examples and "Orfanidis" which upon checking out is used above about 1/2 Nyquist due to better quality in this range with increased resource usage. But, even adding 50 Orfanidis points, the cpu usage is relatively nothing. Is there a benefit to making all points Orfanidis type, or is type 1 actually better below 1/2 Nyquist frequency?
