Given you see the graphical interface, I don't understand what the exact problem is.

If you want to see a bar graph in real-time, click the "Analyzer" button in the effect.

Basic graphic eq like Audacity uses. Parametric is fine.

If you don't like the Calf EQ's then try something here http://linux-sound.org/plugins.html.

Thanks !

First I'm going to see what I can do with this parametric, then I'll look into those. Found an old vcr tape recording I'd like to work on.

Now it doesn't work. Opens, you can adjust but hear no change.

What effect exactly does not work? Please give the name of the effect, and the type of effect it is (click the "Manage" button in the effect, then "About").

It's strange I had messed with nomalize and after that the calf 12 band eq wouldn't work. It would slow me to make adjustments, but wouldn't change the audio. Bypass was not on. I opened the original file and all worked fine. I've found saving the eq as a preset occasionally keeps me from loosing settings if there's a crash.

I see the calf 30 band eq listed here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wil ... alf.7.html

Does this mean I can use this in 14.04 if I figure out how to get it loaded to my computer ???

Ubuntu Wily is v15.10. You have 14.04.

It is not usually recommended to install deb packages for versions of Ubuntu other than the one you have.

If you update to 15.10 then you can definitely use that Calf package.

That would mean me updating three times hoping not to crash. lol
