Feature Request: Equalizer Improvements

Could you propose frequencies for a change?  We'd keep 10 band, but I'm not picky about what the bands are.

A few years ago I made this change:
NEW: Replaced the 10 band graphical equalizer with the high quality parametric equalizer code.  Should solve artifacts that have been reported.

Thanks!

wer:
Sure Matt.  Re the change you mentioned, there are a lot of issues with the PEQ too, hence this thread. Not sure if you saw the things mentioned earlier.

There are certainly many avenues for improvement in the GEQ. 15 bands would be awesome, but still many improvements possible and still staying with 10 bands.

The ideal way to address the question of "which frequencies" would be to just have a little text entry box above the slider where the user could set their own frequencies. I can't see any drawback to doing that.

If we have to stick with hard-coded frequencies, we need more resolution in the bottom end. So I would propose:
30,60,120,200,360,600,1k,3k,6k,14k

Although I for one would be grateful for any improvement, really a lot more is needed in the PEQ and GEQ sections than just new centers. See my original post and the latter discussion.  But new centers would certainly be welcome for a quick and easy start.

mattkhan:
you can use rephase as inspiration

easy enough to set a load of default values which correspond to your existing GEQ bands

fwiw ISO standard frequencies would be 31.5, 63.0, 125.0, 250.0, 500.0, 1000.0, 2000.0, 4000.0, 8000.0, 16000.0

I would love to see something like that, even if it left off the fancy impulse and range adjustments in the lower right corner.

I don't think MC needs something that complex, but a middle ground between that and what we currently have would be terrific.

Matt:
I'll adjust the frequencies for a coming build.  Thanks for the help.
