So, just like emulations of analog FET compressors or exciters, many graphic EQ software plugins also color your audio in unique ways, some of which are responsible for adding authenticity to the sound.Īlso, while it may not be as famous as it was in bygone days, it is still used in live performances and PA events. Most modern software graphic EQs are either hardware emulations or redesigned to fit the 21 st century needs. And those, of course, didn’t show what “shape” the EQ was in at a glance.
Thus, the graphic EQ was preferred because the only alternative back then was to use an EQ unit with vague rotary knobs. Therefore, studios mostly used 31-band graphic EQs that divided the frequency spectrum by 1/3 octave per band.Īfter setting up, the sliders resembled the EQ curve that we are so used to nowadays in parametric EQs. A higher number of sliders gives a bigger “resolution,” so to speak.
