WhiteLABEL has released TENQ, a freeware 10-band parametric equalizer effect in VST plugin format for Windows based digital audio workstations and plugin hosts (32-bit only). I recall desperately searching for a freeware equalizer with a built-in spectrum equalizer for days back in 2009 or 2010.

Equalization or equalisation is the process of adjusting the balance between components within an electronic. The most well known use of equalization is in but there are many other applications in electronics and telecommunications. The circuit or equipment used to achieve equalization is called an equalizer. These devices strengthen ( boost) or weaken ( cut) the energy of specific frequency or 'frequency ranges'. In sound recording and reproduction, equalization is the commonly used to alter the of an audio system using. Most equipment uses relatively simple filters to make and adjustments. Graphic and parametric equalizers have much more flexibility in tailoring the frequency content of an audio signal.

An equalizer is the circuit or equipment used to achieve equalization. Since equalizers, 'adjust the amplitude of audio signals at particular frequencies,' they are, 'in other words, frequency-specific knobs.' : 73 In the field of audio electronics, the term 'equalization' (or 'EQ') has come to include the adjustment of frequency responses for practical or aesthetic reasons, often resulting in a net response that is not truly equalized. The term EQ specifically refers to this variant of the term. Stereos and basic typically have adjustable equalizers which boost or cut or frequencies. Mid- to high-priced guitar and bass amplifiers usually have more bands of frequency control, such as bass, mid-range and treble or bass, low-mid, high-mid, and treble. Some amps have an additional knob for controlling very high frequencies.

Broadcast and recording studios use sophisticated equalizers capable of much more detailed adjustments, such as eliminating unwanted sounds or making certain instruments or voices more prominent. Equalizers are used in, and, and live and in, such as, to correct or adjust the response of, and. Equalization may also be used to eliminate or reduce unwanted sounds (e.g., low hum coming from a guitar amplifier), make certain instruments or voices more (or less) prominent, enhance particular aspects of an instrument's tone, or combat (howling) in a system. Equalizers are also used in to adjust the of individual instruments and voices by adjusting their frequency content and to fit individual instruments within the overall frequency spectrum of the.: 73–74 The most common equalizers in music production are parametric, semi-parametric, graphic, peak, and program equalizers.: 74 Graphic equalizers are often included in consumer audio equipment and which plays music on home computers. Parametric equalizers require more expertise than graphic equalizers, and they can provide more specific compensation or alteration around a chosen frequency.

This may be used in order to remove unwanted resonances or boost certain frequencies. An acoustic guitarist who finds that her instrument sounds too 'boomy' may ask the audio engineer to reduce the low frequency range response, to correct this issue. A guitarist who finds that the instrument sound in the PA has too much finger noise may ask the engineer to reduce the higher frequency range response. The very uneven spectrum of played through imperfect speakers and modified by room acoustics (top) is equalized using a (bottom).

The resulting 'flat' response fails, however, at 71 Hz where the original system had a null in its response which cannot be corrected. The concept of equalization was first applied in correcting the of using networks; this was prior to the invention of electronic amplification. Initially equalization was used to 'compensate for' (i.e. Correct) the uneven frequency response of an electric system by applying a filter having the opposite response, thus restoring the of the. A plot of the system's net frequency response would be flat, as its response to all frequencies would literally be equal. Hence the term 'equalization.' Much later the concept was applied in to adjust the frequency response in recording, reproduction, and live.

Sound engineers correct the frequency response of a sound system so that the frequency balance of the music as heard through speakers better matches the original performance picked up by a. Have long had filters or controls to modify their frequency response. These are most often in the form of variable and controls (shelving filters), and switches to apply low-cut or high-cut filters for elimination of low frequency 'rumble' and high frequency 'hiss' respectively. Graphic equalizers and other equipment developed for improving fidelity have since been used by to modify frequency responses for aesthetic reasons. Hence in the field of audio electronics the term 'equalization' is now broadly used to describe the application of such filters regardless of intent. This broad definition therefore includes all at the disposal of a listener or engineer.

A British EQ or British style equalizer is one with similar properties to those on consoles made in the UK by companies such as Amek, and from the 1950s through to the 1970s. Later on, as other manufacturers started to market their products, these British companies began touting their equalizers as being a cut above the rest. Today, many non-British companies such as and advertise British EQ on their equipment. A British style EQ seeks to replicate the qualities of the expensive British.

History Filtering audio frequencies dates back at least to and in general. Audio electronic equipment evolved to incorporate filtering elements as consoles in radio stations began to be used for recording as much as broadcast. Early filters included basic bass and treble controls featuring fixed frequency centers, and fixed levels of cut or boost. These filters worked over broad frequency ranges. Variable equalization in audio reproduction was first used by working at in the 1920s. That system was used to equalize a motion picture theater sound playback system. The Model EQ-251A was the first equalizer to use slide controls.

It featured two passive equalization sections, a bass shelving filter, and a pass band filter. Each filter had switchable frequencies and used a 15-position slide switch to adjust cut or boost.

The first true graphic equalizer was the type 7080 developed by 's. It featured 6 bands with a boost or cut range of 8. It used a slide switch to adjust each band in 1 dB steps. Davis's second graphic equalizer was the Model 9062A EQ. In 1967 Davis developed the first 1/3 octave variable notch filter set, the Altec-Lansing 'Acousta-Voice' system. Introduced the first parametric equalizer in early 1971.

His design leveraged the high performance op-amp of his own design, the 535 series (USPTO #3727896) to achieve filtering circuits that were before impossible. Flickinger's patent (USPTO #3752928) from early in 1971 showed the circuit topology that would come to dominate audio equalization until the present day, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of the elegant circuit. Instead of slide potentiometers working on individual bands of frequency, or rotary switches, Flickinger's circuit allowed completely arbitrary selection of frequency and cut/boost level in three overlapping bands over the entire audio spectrum. Six knobs on his early EQ's would control these sweepable filters.

Up to six switches were incorporated to select shelving on the high and low bands, and bypassing for any unused band for the purest signal path. His original model boasts specifications that are seldom met today.

Other similar designs appeared soon thereafter from (in 1972) and Burgess McNeal from ITI corp. In May 1972 Massenburg introduced the term Parametric Equalization in a paper presented at the 42nd convention of the.

Most channel equalization on made from 1971 to the present day rely upon the designs of Flickinger, Massenburg and McNeal in either semi or fully parametric topology. In the late 1990s and in the 2000s, parametric equalizers became increasingly available as (DSP) equipment, usually in the form of plug-ins for various digital audio workstations. Standalone versions of DSP parametric equalizers were also quickly introduced after the software versions and are typically called Digital Parametric Equalizers. Filter types. UREI graphic and parametric EQs The number of frequency channels (and therefore each one's bandwidth) affects the cost of production and may be matched to the requirements of the intended application. A equalizer might have one set of controls applying the same gain to both stereo channels for convenience, with a total of five to ten frequency bands.

On the other hand, an equalizer for professional typically has some 25 to 31 bands, for more precise control of feedback problems and equalization of. Such an equalizer (as shown above) is called a 1/3-octave equalizer (spoken informally as ' third-octave EQ') because the center frequency of its filters are spaced one third of an apart, three filters to an octave. Equalizers with half as many filters per octave are common where less precise control is required—this design is called a 2/3-octave equalizer. Parametric equalizer. The equaliser section from the ASP8024 Mixing console.

The upper section has high and low shelving EQ, the lower section has fully parametric EQ. Parametric equalizers are multi-band variable equalizers which allow users to control the three primary parameters:, and. The amplitude of each band can be controlled, and the center frequency can be shifted, and bandwidth (which is inversely related to ') can be widened or narrowed. Parametric equalizers are capable of making much more precise adjustments to sound than other equalizers, and are commonly used in sound recording and. Parametric equalizers are also sold as standalone units.

A variant of the parametric equalizer is the semi-parametric equalizer, also known as a sweepable filter. It allows users to control the amplitude and frequency, but uses a pre-set bandwidth of the center frequency. In some cases, semi-parametric equalizers allow the user to select between a wide and a narrow preset bandwidth. Filter functions. Two first-order shelving filters: a -3dB bass cut (red), and a +9dB treble boost (blue) A first order filter can alter the response of frequencies above and below a point. In the transition region the filter response will have a slope of up to 6 per. The bass and treble controls in a hi-fi system are each a first order filter in which the balance of frequencies above and below a point are varied using a single knob.

A special case of first order filters is a first order high-pass or low-pass filter in which the 6 dB per octave cut of low or high frequencies extends indefinitely. These are the simplest of all filters to implement individually, requiring only a capacitor and resistor. Second order filters. ^ Strong, Jeff (2005). ^ Louie, Gary; White, Glenn (2005).

Audio 'quality' is a little subjective. When we upsample filters we are doing so to reduce frequency warping at the high end of the spectrum. The above shows the difference between an analogue filter and a digital filter using the bilinear transform. Observe that whilst the analogue filter continues beyond our sampling frequency, the digital filter is locked down at Nyquist (we can presume from the diagram this system is functioning at a sample rate of 2kHz). Consider movement of the analogue filter. It's curve will be more or less fixed and is not subject to a sample rate; whereas the digital filter will always be zero at the 'Nyquist frequency' or half the sampling rate. Therefore, if our Nyquist frequency is within audible range, we would be able to hear this effect.

This doesn't apply to all digital filters but the filters in PEQ2 are from the Cookbook and therefore are subject to this condition. So, you have a choice: You can oversample the whole system and run plugins without upsampling to reduce frequency warping, only upsample individual plugins or try both. There will be an optimum point, however.

Once you're running at about 96kHz, frequency warping is so far out of the range of human hearing that it is less likely to be potentially problematic. Some might say it's only a problem if you want it to be and make do with compromise. It can potentially introduce phase issues but I don't think this is a major issue.

In a very quick way, I doubt you'd notice the difference between HQ and non HQ with PEQ2 especially if you aren't dealing with anything near Nyquist. Really, the HQ is just some oversampling to mitigate the issues with running filters around Nyquist which for a 44,100Hz system is 22,050Hz. The why for this is a bit complicated on a technical level, but really it just boils down to the fact that mathematically things don't work out when you start to go above half the sample rate. Something UA didn't mention is that if there are any components above Nyquist that they'll actually get reflected back down into the audible spectrum. Part of the reason for high sample rates actually has to do with interfacing with the analog world as the reflected sounds are directly related to how high they are above Nyquist. But this is going to quickly go completely off topic.

Parametric Eq 2 Presets

Another thing to note about the HQ mode with PEQ2 is it actually introduces latency that isn't reported which can cause phase issues. See the attached FLP for an example. Basically, I have the same file with one phase inverted so they cancel each other out completely. I have HQ mode enabled with PEQ2 already.

Turn off HQ mode and you won't hear anything. Just a heads up if you're doing any parallel processing that is phase dependent. I don't care if it incurs latency. What I care about is that latency gets reported to the DAW so that it may be compensated for. PEQ2 has had this issue ever since it was introduced which has been what since like FL 7 or 8?

We're several versions past that and they haven't bothered to fix it. Strange how that mirroring works isn't it? Some of this stuff is truly awesome to explore. I know that suggests an ideal sampling rate of something like 60-ishKHz. But he does say that 88.2KHz or 96KHz are more ideal as they are reasonably close. These do away with several of the issues creating a linear passband, and mitigate issues encountered with the analog world while still providing good accuracy. I would agree with that.

I can't find them right now - I performed a search earlier - but I did once come across a graph which compared frequency warping at different sampling frequencies and it was clear that most 'natural' results were around 96kHz (it only detailed common SF). It is odd that FL Studio doesn't report the latency in PEQ2. I'm sure I've come across a few third party plugins like that. You only really get to hear it when running in parallel. Of course, running most filters in parallel isn't usually wise - with the exception of allpass filters, which perform magic in parallel. Yeah I mean I kept PEQ2 flat in terms of doing anything so there is no phase shift happening from the filters.

It is purely just PEQ2 not reporting its latency to FL. Granted in most situations this isn't a big deal, but it certainly could. Sometimes the inherent phase shift caused by a filter when used in parallel is desirable, but if the plugin itself is causing a delay that isn't compensated for then you're kind SOL. I guess it is what it is, but really if you're not using PEQ2 in the really high freqs not being in HQ mode isn't that big of a deal. The only thing I dislike about the filters in FL Studio is that the interface doesn't relate to their internal design. I'm speaking specifically about Q. I don't know what kind of range they chose to represent between 0 and 1 but Q values go well beyond 1 - as do these filters.

However, they don't tell you what the Q actually is. If I want to approximate a Butterworth filter using the Cookbook, I know that the Q value should be 0.707. If you put that into FL Studio, you're well into the realms of resonance; not the smooth roll-off one might expect from a Butterworth.

It makes the Linkwitz-Riley configuration only possible through a plugin like the multiband compressor or by obtaining a third party filter which reports actual Q values and permits their input or a specific Linkwitz-Riley filter.
