Graphic Eq Export Data File

Post by kozikowski » Thu Jul 02, 2020 10:34 am

I created a custom setting in Effect > Graphic Eq... I exported the setting to Manage > Export and it produced a file with information but no extension. The file will not post on the forum.

I'm on 2.4.1. Did this get fixed in 2.4.2?

Another note. I moved 5 knobs from center and it produced a data file like this.

That's a lot of info. Is that normal?

I've never used this tool before. This is the display.

How much correction did I apply at 6.3KHz?

The extension should be ".txt".

I'm not sure, but probably not as I don't think it has ever been logged as a bug.
Do you have a bugzilla account for logging bugs? If not, I can either ask James to set one up for you, or if you confirm that the problem also happens on 2.4.2 I can log it for you.

Looks like about 25% ;)
(Does anyone look at numbers when using a hardware Graphic?)

If you need a numeric answer, hover your mouse pointer over the slider.


Apparently, this one is from Apple's flagship DAW "Logic Pro":

Yes that's normal.
Under the hood, both "Graphic EQ" and "Filter Curve EQ" are FFT filters. In effect, they are both 180 band Graphic EQs, but with more convenient interfaces.
