Message: [QUOTE="Scorpio, post: 15790, member: 4"] Just think of EQ pressure points as common go-to center frequencies for stupid loudness wars and these are: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]1.2 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]1.6 kHz (with a blunt bell curve)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2.0 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]3.5 kHz (with a blunt bell curve)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]5.0 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]6.5 kHz (with a blunt bell curve)[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Anything above 3.5 kHz and below 300 Hz isn't of primary priority because music is first and foremost "all about the midrange" this should be understood wholeheartedly because every speaker or headphone reproduces that frequency range. We can always disagree and that's fine if you are slow. I am not saying the low-end or the top-end doesn't matter at all. It kinda does but... I know I am right even though I don't claim to know it all. However, y'all need not argue with me because everything else is wrong... I mean best believe I ain't trolling either at least not yet. ? Lest I forget, I'd say in this case a blunt bell slope = Q 0.304601 assuming gain is between 1 to 2 dB, and from 2 to 4 dB use Q 0.349672 whilst medium bell slope = Q 0.7071 because doing so you will manually mimic those so-called proportional musical Q values. If you use FabFilter then the slope Q 0.304601 becomes Q 0.430705 (or just Q 0.431) whilst the slope Q 0.349672 becomes 0.494436 (or just Q 0.5) and finally, Q 0.7071 that's 1 assuming all these bell curves are set to 12 dB per octave. P.S. alternatively for medium bell slope you can also use Q 0.556 (id est, approx. Q 0.82 on FabFilter ProQ) which is slightly similar to the widest bell on the Sontec MES-432C equalizer. And for interest's sake, FabFilter "Qs" are similar to Weiss EQ1 "Qs" just so you know. [/QUOTE]
