However if your foobar master volume is not maxed out, you will have as much headroom above 0dB as the master volume is below zero. The big Peak Meter that pops out instead shows clipped levels all the way out to +10dB the same way as it shows unclipped levels. That's the one with black clipping 'lights' to the right. Regarding the peak meter, there's a small one that docks into the top panel. I've also read another report of the two versions not playing well with each other and causing both to crash until 'the something else' is uninstalled. My Electri-Q is the free 1.0 version whereas yours is. TBH I thought it was all bollocks, but after testing, Mr Katz was absolutely right.Īnyway now I've bought DMG equilibrium, which is overkill for my noob amateur needs, but at least it does all I can ever ask of an EQ so I'm done wondering if it me or the EQ. ^_^īob Katz explained to me some stuff about IIR vs FIR and linear filter or not, that could affect the imaging. It's no big deal and quite the specific problem, so I can't honestly blame a free EQ for trying to offer such a feature. the soundstage was shifted even thought they now measured the same in frequency response. so compensating for some IEMs that had a few db too much around 5khz on the left(from my own measurements with a mic), didn't end up sounding balanced at all.

last time I was 'disappointed' by it, it was because using an EQ for left channel and one different for right created some too obvious phase changes. I use it still for some simple examples that people can try to replicate if they like. I no longer use easyQ, because it works fine for the most part and I try to suggest free stuff to people. Shuffle can be customized(advanced option), and tries to follow a certain pattern within the randomness(same artist, or 1 full album then another random album in full.
