EQ Frequency meter

[Lindon]

@Reylon Ok so this has some bugs in it -(and dont use the Limiter FX - its broken - use the limter inside the dynamic FX module)

but it seems you are trying to gather the current gain level at defined freq bands

-- so to even do this I would suggest you use the Linkwitz riley filters in script node (there are posts here about how to set them up for multiband processing...)

-- and you question is
"within these freq. bands is it possible to get the (average?) freq?"

• answer yes - with some FFT work... but theres no native ParametricEQ1.getCurrentFrequency(0) command...

[Reylon]

@Lindon Ugh sounds difficult. So, I'm not even close huh?
Thank you for the info though :)

[Reylon]

@Christoph-Hart Hi Christoph, could this be added in the future ParametricEQ1.getCurrentFrequency(0)?

[Christoph Hart]

@Reylon No that's not how EQs work.

You could use scriptnode with a frequency splitter layout where you could extract the peaks of each band, but that's not as flexible as the draggable EQ.

[Reylon]

@Christoph-Hart Thank you for the info :)

@Reylon The Parametric EQ has an inbuilt Spectrum Analyser. Why don't you use this to display the Frequency of the processed sound, since it already works in frequency domain?

[Reylon]

@toxonic Oh really, would you please be kind on showing me how to do that? I am fairly new here, hahah

[toxonic]

@Reylon In the lower right corner of the Parametric EQ is a button called "Spectrum Analyser".
You can display that all with a floating tile in the main interface (in the "Draggabel Filter" mode (Properties of the Floating Tile). You just have to type in the Processor ID, and there you go...

I just added a waveform generator for demonstration purposes, but i guess, you'll get what i mean....

[Reylon]

@toxonic Aa yes sure, but is there a way to make the spectrum show lines? Like the ozones 8 tonal balancer? Thank you for the snippet, appreciating the help! :)

[toxonic]

@Reylon Mhh, pretty sure, that's possible, but i'm not experienced enough for that.... someone else here? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Reylon]

@toxonic haha I understand. Thank you for your help.

@Christoph-Hart sorry to bother you Christoph but is it possible to make the EQ Spectrun change to lines?

[DanH]

@Reylon have a look at this thread

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/5791/spectrum-ballistic-display-buffer/31

[Reylon]

@DanH Thank you :) looks nice but still not sure if it is possible to make the view look something like this, the white lines are basically the spectrum

[DanH]

@Reylon I'm sure you can but you'll need to put a bit work in

There's nothing in Hise that you can use off the shelf like this. My personal opinion of plugins like tonal balance is that if you need a visual aid like this when mixing records then either your equipment isn't up to scratch or you're in the wrong profession!

[Reylon]

@DanH Thanks. No I’m there with you 100% but it’s a small part of a new algorithm im trying to create. So this would be basically just for me to get things right in the backend.

[DanH]

@Reylon you could build hise as a plugin and then use tonal balance after it in a daw if that helps…

[Lindon]

@Reylon you can build a similar sort of thing with a panel and paint routines...

@Christoph-Hart said in EQ Frequency meter:

Take a look this thread : https://forum.hise.audio/topic/6000/get-level-from-a-scriptnode-module/7?_=1664392760651

[Reylon]

@Lindon Is this something you created? If so can I please have a look to understand it better?

[Reylon]

@Matt_SF Thanks! Looks useful :)
