More suggestions for Kirchhoff EQ!
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2021 1:13 am
Hello, TBTech, people!
First, huge congrats on your KirchhoffEQ, it's an amazing tool, surpassing all its rivals in may ways, I'm deeply impressed as an audio professional. Just a couple of suggestions that could help you to improve it even more in the future:
- 5.1 and Atmos support. It's an obvious must for film work (which I do every day), it's also getting more and more popular in the music world. I'll have to stick to A Very Popular EQ for now both for 5.1 and Atmos works;
- when boosting or cutting above the displayed dB limit, it would be cool if Your EQ zoomed out proportionally: i.e., starting with default +/- 12 dB grid, cutting a nasty resonant 1.2 kHz by 15 dB, KirchhoffEQ zooms out automatically to display +/- 18 dB range. This is what this Very Famous EQ does and I'm really used to it, it's cool, it's helpful;
- I'm using a 22" touch screen in front of me and I noticed that all the bottom incremental/decremental controls don't work when using touch gestures instead of a mouse - gain, slope, Q, dynamic parameters, nothing can be controlled this way; I believe that touch screens are getting more and more popular and it's good to take care of customers that chose to work with them;
- more of analog models is probably the matter of time for you, just giving you some extra ideas (which you probably already thought of): Manley MassivePassive (a mastering dream for many people: to have the tone of the original unit and the flexibility of a surgical EQ), Mäag EQ4, SPL PassEQ;
- creating auto curves to the sidechain/file reference would be amazing;
- the most amazing thing (at least for me) is creating well working, machine learning-based auto-eq functionalities, like Sonible SmartEQ3 does, which I completely and endlessly love when initially fixing problems/setting the basic tone of things.
The rest is insanely good, so keep up great work, greetings from Warsaw, Poland!
