Feature request graphic eq

in the graphic eq it would be very nice to see the readings of the bands in db

It appears that it already is…

thanks timot. This is not the solution I thought as you can only read the value roughly. I mean to read is as it is, for example 2.5 db oder 3.2 db. Here you can only see it is nearly 3 db.

When working with the GEQ I use the fader-flip and tune by ear to shape the sound and I’m never concerned about a half dB here or there. :wink:

If you think about it, one dB is the smallest change we can detect in perceived sound in a studio environment and it is usually closer to three dB everywhere else.

With this in mind… Do you really need to know exactly how many dB you are attenuating or boosting to the tenth of a dB?

I second this suggestion. Obviously people should be using ears not eyes to mix, but some of us also train new people and being able to reference things helps instead of just an abstract ‘use your ears’.
Getting a newbie to be able to quantize a change is helpful, instructive and practical.
When working with pros if someone says bring it down 2 dB at 630 and having ball parked it I have had pros ask, “was that 2 dB ?” and then one has to do the spiel of, “there is no exact measurement so yes, approximately.”
Most tour pros are with it and already know the SQ series, but we get the odd national level tech who wants exact figures or, is more likely subtley offering their criticism of the SQ series lack of precision in the EQ section.

There is no possible way knowing the exact amount of dip or boost could be a negative and it only could be helpful.
