EQ tweak and other question

Graphic PEQ would be easier but here's a non-tech cheat sheet.

Gain: volume up or down

Frequency: This is what you refer to as Hz. Hertz is a measurement of frequency

Bandwidth (Q): This is weirder. The higher the Q number the narrower the band of correction is. I am making these numbers up just to make a point. Lets say on a 10 band EQ the Q=2. On a 20 band EQ the Q would be 4 because the distance between the slider frequencies is less so the Q is narrower. If you want to EQ a very specific frequency (Hz) then you use a higher Q. If you want a more general setting like more treble then you use a lower Q setting. The lower Q setting is like changing multiple sliders on a regular EQ. A higher Q setting is like only changing one slider.

It is easy to experiment with and not very technical really. If you are setting your headphones by ear this will take a little experimenting but you can get it pretty easy. If you need more bass but not sure what frequency to adjust got to the regular EQ and use the sliders to find out. The regular EQ is 20 band so it shouldn't be that hard.

Don't forget you can use both EQs.

1. JR PEQ beyond my patience, JR EQ does not have option to adjust fixed Hz settings.
2. Yes appreciated that an effort was put into improving upon what was, but beyond my patience to work with.
Here's the JR EQ profile I'm looking to use with JR 29:
preamp -2.5dB
32 -0.4dB, 64 -0.2dB, 125 -0.2dB, 250 -0.2dB, 500 -0.3dB,
1000 -0.3dB, 2000 -0.4dB, 4000  2.6dB, 8000 -1.3dB, 16000 -0.3dB
Note: JR EQ Hz and khz settings: example: fixed at 31.3 Hz
I can get close to my preferred EQ, but 31.3 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz,
4 kHz, 8 kHz and 20 kHz cannot be set exactly to my EQ profile - thus I won't apply an "almost" EQ profile.
My opinion is that much in software is not created for layperson, so much as created by computer science majors, engineers, coders - with expertise and mindset to match. I hear other's complaining about this. Isn't the genius in software to "hide the complexity", and make it as simple as possible to use?

Many thanks for quick response from JR in
sending me registration code for JR 29.
