A Parametric equalizer is simply one that has adjustable frequency center, cut and boost, and band width (aka Q). So the term applies only to the look and the marketing - not to what the eq's capabilities are at all.īut Brad's definitions are much more accurate in terms of traditional hardware design. In terms of "Paragraphic" in the case of these gui's - the different bands all have faders for boost/cut lined up next to each other so that when they are adjusted it looks like a graphic of the frequency curve. In the case of these particular plugins the use of the terms only has to deal with the look of the gui and not with their actual functions. Maybe I need to tweak the "Q" on the Renaissance. I was specifically comparing the Izotope Ozone Paragraphic & Waves C10 Paragraphic to the Waves Renaissance Parametric on some work I'm trying to polish up. On these if we change anything sound can get screwed up.Bloodstone wrote on Fri, 20 August 2004 23:49 Some speakers may be already running at it's best glorious state turned by the manufacturer(may not be flat, even if flat under ideal room conditions). But with fast amps and fast speakers which does not distort to the eq(hardware clipping in amp, speaker cone distortion, another new cabin resonance which we did not expect while boosting or reducing a freq) it can do wonders. What eq cannot correct is the speed of the system, where the temporal masking comes in, so suddenly an eq cannot make a system perfect.
All zero is ideal only for an anechoic chamber with super flat system. So sometimes, when we look at curve it can look weird but it can sound alright. Sometimes if we have a bad speaker which has ridiculous peaks, to create this difference the masker can be raised above 0 level and masked can be reduced below zero level. The key is difference which makes us hear it as two different frequencies. Sometimes a masked frequency can be revealed by reducing the loudness of the frequency it makes or by increasing the loudness of it.
Psycho acoustically the masking in frequency domain is always relative to what frequencies are present in the audio and how loud each of them are. The band's are chosen in such a way that each of them belong to a psycho acoustic frequency bin which will can be adjusted without messing up the near by bin.įor most us, its bassbosst and treble boost controls a 13 band eq is really a wonderful device if we know what we are doing and we know humans hear. The frequencies around it also get adjusted like an umbrella curve. The freq of bands given on the eq represent the middle frequency of the octave they belong and it doesn't mean that alone is getting adjusted.
The real reason for an equalizer is to reverse the coloring the the source / amp / speakers and the ROOM makes before the sound reaches ur ear.
