Live Equalizer For Pc

[Kody Chavva]

Asper title.

For example, while I am configuring my microphone, I would like to see the waveform appear in the equalizer as I speak; or when toggling the noise gate, I would like to see the current audio levels to set the threshold.

I can confirm that the VSTs are actually functioning, but when I open the configuration panel it shows no audio activity.

This is how CE works ATM.

It shouldn't be much work to get VST hosting work properly so, hopefully Jonas has included this to his ToDo list and finds time for EqualizerAPO project in the close future.

I've also tried another software called Cantabile which actually satisfies almost all my requirements. With Cantabile, you can use it in Voicemeeter as an ASIO Patch Insert (I think that's what its called, I'm learning off Youtube). But sometimes the programme desyncs with the voicemeeter feed and you get crackling audio so unfortunately I needed a different solution.

I'm not sure how the analysis panel is working. It could be that it shows the results based on the Equalizer APO commands. If so, no results of VST will been shown as you have noticed. On the other hand, Equalizer APO could analyse the difference between the input and output signal. Then the analysis panel should show everything. The question is why not the VST you're working with. Have you already looked at the code of Equalizer APO?

No I haven't looked at the code - and I'm not sure I have the technical background to understand it in detail even if I did.

Please see screenshots for my current EqualizerAPO settings.

I am hoping to get it to show like below (using an example from OBS studio)

Good setup! I understand, it would be perfect when the analysis panel shows the mics input according to the plugins. I've tried to understand the process of graph drawing on the analysis panel. Unfortunately I get stuck. Although I understand a little bit of the drawing process I don't know where the data is actually coming from.

Hmm... it can be quite hard to understand if you look the source codes only ... but, in generally speaking, response curve drawn in analyzer panel is just the sum of all (IIR/FIR) filters responses (+ gains). A simple case : -filter-frequency-response/ .

So, try to find the related codes where filters are build and summed ... (You can make it all easier by debugging the Editor -project).

You're right. The graph is just a sum of all filters. This isn't realtime. Perhaps that's why it isn't that easy to include VST plugins processing data. This realtime data needs to be added to the graph. Since EqualizerAPO.dll is the audio processing engine I wonder if the Configuration Editor has access to the realtime data of this other thread.

IMO, it would be quite easy task to route audio stream to CE (it does not need to go beyond CE) and process the stream with added filters for just to enable meters/analyzers show what they are made for.

That's because the shown VST panel is a kind of "mockup". It's running to get the user input. This input (the parameters) is then feed to a (second but same) VST plugin running at the background to process the audio according the user input parameters. I'm not sure if this could be improved looking at the way Equalizer APO is doing things and how Windows is working in the first place for the audio processing objects (APO's).

One of the most used inserts that come with Ableton Live is the CHANNEL EQ, which can be defined as a device that resembles the flexible 3-band equalizer found on most classic mixing consoles, which was fine tuned to provide musical results for a variety of audio program.

Using Ableton Live 10 software to produce music would be ideal with one of our professionally designed PCAudioLabs Systems due our high-performance specifications in order to work with any of the Digital Audio Workstations supported.

My digital chain starts with Roon core on a sonic transporter i5. I feed that to my network bridge, to a dac, to my amp, to my speakers. I recently purchased a minidsp shd unit which comes with Dirac live. I placed that between my sotm network bridge and my mytek Brooklyn dac+ in my chain.

My question is this: Now that I have my Dirac Live charts (impulse response, frequency charts) is there a way to use that info (replicate that) to set up Parametric EQ directly in Roon? That way I can simplify my chain my removing the minidsp and regain MQA? If yes, how?

Thanks much, gentlemen! Roon Parametric EQ has a speaker distance input function (measured from the listener, for each speaker), which I thought makes some time domain adjustments. Is that not the case?

The time domain referenced is also known as phase response or group delay. It is frequency dependent and arises from inherent resonances, crossover filters, parametric EQ, etc. Loudspeaker distance compensation has no effect on intrachannel time coincidence.

Hi Line 6ers. I have had the XT live for quite some time now and I love it. My question is a simple one, but I cannot find the answer anywhere even tho I have the original Pilot's Handbook. I am in the middle of setting up another of my own programmed sounds but I can't remember how to turn on all the bypassed stuff like the EQ especially as I want to tweak some tones. You will probably say that I'm stupid and all you have to do is........? But I really don't know how to now.

Press the third and fourth soft-buttons (The rubber ones under the screen) simultaneously. But like Jeff said, the manual is absolutely worth a look. There's a lot of good explanations about how the individual bands work differently and some additional soft-button shortcuts.

I have a question about the difference between a crossover and an equalizer, and the final product of each. If I understand correctly an equalizer either rolls off or amps up the given frequencies that appear on its adjustment devices. And a crossover varies the frequency point at which the audio signal will be sent to one of two or more speakers. I also believe that a high frequency that is padded down to the maximum by the adjustment device in an equalizer is sent to the speaker at a level that is reduced to the point where it essentially no longer exists. A crossover does not diminish the signal but just varies the point at which frequencies are distributed to the speakers. If that is true, it seems that higher frequencies that a crossover sends to a speaker that is designed to produce low frequencies will be lost since that speaker is not designed to reproduce them. So then the question is this; do high frequencies that a crossover sends to a low frequency speaker add any audio support to the low frequencies of that speaker? Or, is the end result essentially the same as if an equalizer was used instead of a crossover?

This question is prompted by the fact that I have a set of PA speakers that have horns but do not have an adjustable crossover. I am thinking that inserting an equalizer in the line between the amp and the speakers that can be adjusted may produce about the same end result as having a variable crossover in each PA cabinet. What do you think?

I am not one the heavy hitters here who might could explain better but an equalizer is used to shape the signal to your speakers,such as boosting or cutting frequenies to compensate for either speakers or room accoustics.A crossover splits the signal generally to the speakers often set between 90hz and 120z where anything above the split will go to the highs and below the split to your subs making for a cleaner sound and protecting your speakers from getting a signal they were not designed to reproduce.I am certain someone more qualified can explain furthur or better but that is the general principal.

Lets say we have a 100Hz low pass filter ("subwoofer crossover"). The farther up the frequency gets from 100Hz, the more it is attenuated. If this is a 24dB per octave slope, by the time you are up two octaves, there is little signal getting into the woofer, as it's attenuated by 50dB or more.

On an EQ, the maximum attenuation is 12 or 15 dB (depending upon the model). If you shove all the sliders above 100Hz down all the way, all of the frequencies above 100Hz are still quite present in the sub - not good at all.

Now for the easy part... a crossover is nothing more than a set of filters. Starting with a 2 way crossover, the full range signal enters the crossover and passes through a low pass filter (passes only the low frequencies ((bass)) below the crossover point) and on to the low frequency driver (or amp in the case of a bi-amped system). The full range signal also passes through a high pass filter that passes only the high frequency part of the signal above the crossover point and on to the high frequency speaker or amp (in a bi-amped system).

An equalizer (graphic or 31 band for the example) is like a glorified set of tone controls. For a 31 band (or 1/2 octave) eq, the full range signal BEFORE the crossover is split up into 31 bands, each 1/3 octave wide. Each 1/3 octive segment can be boosted or cut from the flat or neutral position. It is used to correct for room acoustics problems, correct for poor speaker response, alter the tone or amount of each band in the overall signal. It is a much finer version of the tone controls found on the average mixer's input channels.

PS-Once you grasp this concept (which took me a while to figure out), then come back and ask more questions. In fact, you can probably start by examining the built in crossovers inside your typical PA speaker (your mains or monitor speakers). Let us know what piece of gear you have and we can direct you to it better.

Thanks to all who responded with constructive comments. Here's my specific situation. I have a pair of Traynor CS-112H PA speakers that I think fit my needs with one exception: their high frequency output is too strong, so strong that it overshadows the rest of the frequency range. The speakers have no external crossover adjustment and I suspect there is a fixed crossover inside the cabinet. I have not opened the cabinet to check yet, but I will be suprised if the internal crossover has any adjustment.
