lkjb QRange

[jochicago]

As wishlist items, for the visualization,
- It's good to see peaks but I prefer to see an avg line over time (usually a few seconds). It's helpful to see where the build ups are
- also super useful is a visualization for an external sidechain, at the same time as the regular visualization for this channel

here is some background to the Ikjb QRange

That´s absolutely brilliant!



Tischmeyer and his fvcking company can suck it!

Thanks, this will be useful!

Since a request for a band solo came twice: what should a soloed band do?
I can think of either only process the band or only output the signal that is processed (e.g. bandpass for peak filter, cut for shelves).

Pretty sure they mean the latter

The Luftikus GUI for example was done by kvr user RefinedRough which is way better than my original design (screenshot of original design for comparison).

Honestly, I like your design better
And Qrange looks exactly like I expect an eq to look like, all parameters exposed is more important than fancy anything.

Gotta disagree, TR, the official Luftikus is so much more professional and attractive than the original (no offense intended, lkjb)

With that said, I don't mind lkjb's original GUI at all really, there's no just no comparison. I'd like to see all of lkjb's offerings with pro-looking GUIs, he makes some great effects and they deserve better.

Hello and tyvm for this work. Posting to note that this plugin adds latency in ableton even when disabled. Took me a bit to out where the lag was coming from but ofc it was the linear phase eq . Not sure if this is possible to fix but would be cool if it could be addressed. Thanks again!

Yes this is def the first IIR Linear Phase EQ I ever heard of in fact I even read before from another developer that it was impossible. I don't know what is and what's not possible but I do know this is an extremely helpful tool.

thEQorange from MAAT - 990 USD
Sonoris has one - 250 EURO
Algorithmix has that red one - 999 EURO
Melda I believe has one as well very affordable
and I think PLparEQ was one as well - ~ 1000 USD
I wonder what the IK Multimedia one is...

... they seem to be usually quite expensive which is why I was surprised to see one for free. I was looking for others a while back. If PLParEQ was still on the market I'd save for it and never look at another LP EQ again

[Debutante]

...and major thanks to the dev having read the backstory. Presets are good; for things like hum or maybe someone trying a room eq or whatever - better to have than not since another's need might not be so apparent.

As for sound, *** Im NOOOOOO EQ expert ***, as as such I was looking for more of theses to try because i found PLParEQ had a very aggressive quality to it, almost like a mean spectral eraser or steep slope or something... and I cannot say why, but in absolute terms I preferred it to any other I used. I especially love what they do lowpassing with high Q into the mid range

Not that it really matters much to the user, but from what I've heard and read, there is not really such a thing as an IIR-linear phase EQ, because technically any implementation of linear phase requires symmetric and finite processes.

If I'm not completely mistaken, that was one of the explanations of Ohlhorst in the famous (German language) Masterlab video that I posted before, where they inquired the MAAT guy (Tischmeyer) about some of the marketing claims he made regarding his 1000 Euro Orange EQ.

So maybe the IIR Linear Phase claim by IKJB is part of the making fun of the 1000 Euro Orange EQ?

I just released an update with some GUI changes (buttons & layout), a gain match (works only while audio is playing) and band solo (right-click on band handle or band number; the lattter doesn't work in Reaper due to Reaper's parameter automation menu).

I'll have a look at adding presets for a future update.
Feedback and suggestions are as usual welcome!

The plugin-internal bypass does keep the latency, otherwise audio would jump when enabling/disabling the bypass. At the moment I'm not sure what QRange could make differently to fix this. Have you checked with other high latency plugins? I wouldn't be surprised if this happened with alll plugins but normally isn't as noticeable due to a much lower latency.

That is basically correct but not quite.
I wrote a little bit here about how an IIR-based linear phase EQ works.

If I'm not completely mistaken, that was one of the explanations of Ohlhorst in the famous (German language) Masterlab video that I posted before, where they inquired the MAAT guy (Tischmeyer) about some of the marketing claims he made regarding his 1000 Euro Orange EQ.

To be fair, at the time the video was shot Friedemann Tischmeyer / MAAT had already set the claim right. IIRC the discussion in the video circled around handling the user response and the plugin's price tag.

I'd love it if there was a version with this interface but just a regular digital eq, super low cpu and nice sound - I would gladly pay for such a thing - I guess a cross between tiny Q and this interface. Your eq's really have something to them, great work again!

[lkjb]

A little update whichs adds presets, shows whether a gain match is possible and changing Q-factor by ctrl-dragging a handle is now available.

On the one hand this shouldn't be too hard but to do it nicely (e.g. share a lot of the code base) it might take some effort. Nothing for the near future but I'll have a look.

Thanks for this lkjb

Nice, I hope you consider it as this is a really well designed plugin both in sound and usability... very functional.

Just to report - changing the latency to any of the other options crashes Ableton Live 10, win 8, vst2.

Thanks for the report. This should be fixed in version 1.0.3 which can once again be downloaded on the kvr product page.

Has there been an update to this? The latency is far too overpowering on the version I have tested.

Maybe read https://lkjbdsp.wordpress.com/2019/08/1 ... phase-eqs/ to explain the latency in this plug
