| Any standard EQ boost or cut creates a phase shift, as it's essentially the basis of how your standard EQ functions. On mono signals it creates frequency related phasing effects, so the track does in fact phase with itself across different bands. This is why the 'phase shift' control is great on ALL sources!
Just trying this thing out and I'm really impressed so far. It might well topple the Sonnox EQ as my workhorse. It seems to really be taking things a step forward and giving people a bit of everything they want in a very versatile package.
There is only one suggestion that I would put forward, and it's strictly a workflow/speed related one. The 'Alt' modifier that makes the mouse change Q instead of Gain on the graphic display would be great if it locked off side-to-side movement so that you can't accidentally knock off to the side of the band you zero'd in on whilst adjusting quality factor.
It would also be fantastic if the right mouse button was re-purposed to be the Q adjuster instead of having to use both hands to hold down the modifier key and use the mouse, much as the Sonnox EQ does. That's one of the very small things that makes the Sonnox EQ so very usable for me... the fact that you can do just about anything you want on the graphic display with your mouse and two buttons.
If you sort out these two issues and get the EQ's workflow to match its feature set, it would be a stock standard, work-horse EQ without match.
Great work!
PS. Could you please tell us, do the different EQ models adjust the type of harmonic distortion that's generated, or do they solely alter the shape of the bell curves? Is this something that can be done via using the right-click menu to adjust the cut and boost shapes, or do the EQ models bring something unique to the table? |
