As suggested by the file extension, Eqcurves.xml is an XML file.
XML files can be edited as “plain text” but you need to take care that you keep the correct structure.
Each section of the file is defined by “opening” and “closing” “tags”.
If you look at the default Eqcurves.xml file you will see a structure like this:
<equalizationeffect>
<curve name="curve-name">
<point f="30.0" d="-20.0"/>
<point f="100.0" d="0.0"/>
.......
</curve>
</equalizationeffect>
“” is the opening tag for the complete set of presets.
“” is the matching closing tag (note the forward slash)
is the opening tag of one preset and is the matching closing tag.
Each preset must be enclosed within an opening <curve= “name”> tag with a unique name and a closing tag.
Within the curve preset, each point is identified with a frequency (f=) and a gain setting (d=)
The gain setting is in dB.
