Sweet, I'll give that one a go tonight. By my comments I do not mean to denigrate Hugh for his tireless and excellent work, the work of members looking to get the functionality back, nor Logitech for continuing to support open-source architecture which benefits us all.
I only mean now seems like a good time to lift Hugh off the hook. And, I believe it's true he builds expiration dates into the Inguz builds. If this is the case, we have a limited time to use the software, regardless of staying on an older platform or finding a good workaround. On the subject of moving "frequency centers", I find this an extremely important function. Early in the Inguz development I chatted quite a bit with Hugh and even had him over to my house for a listen (very nice guy btw). At the time, the variable-center function wasn't in the software. Coming from the TacT preamp units and seeing huge benefit, I implored him to upgrade the EQ function from a 'graphic' to 'parametric'. The reason is that a graphic EQ allows fiddling - bump here, cut there, stop when it sounds 'good'. While this is a useful function and far better than nothing, it doesn't allow corrections to be applied exactly where they are needed. When measuring a room there are invariably bumps to be trimmed and holes to be filled (within reason). Without a parametric EQ, 'frequency centers' cannot be correlated with places of need. The two elements of a true parametric EQ not present in a graphic EQ are 1) movable frequency centers, and 2) "Q", or width of the band in terms of octaves. Hugh agreed. Applying the idea, he found moving frequency centers was relatively easy and he fairly quickly applied that to the software. However, varying width of the band proved more difficult and that part never made it to the software. Nevertheless, his solution enables the measured approach of measuring the room, applying corrections, listening, measuring, applying, etc. The end result is an intentional compromise of measured flatness and audible preference. The importance of this function to, well, everyone's better sound cannot be overstated. -- miklorsmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ miklorsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
