Topic: Output Fx EQ3 on standalone version (suggestion)

Hi,
I mainly use the standalone version of pianoteq. Great advantages: immediate launch, automatic recording of midi sessions...
For headphone playing, it's perfect for me, but when I use my monitors, which sound far too bright, I have to use an equalizer to get the sound better.
Using an EQ3 works good but I need to add it on each preset, I regret that there isn't an output equalizer independent of the presets, a "material EQ".
This is a suggestion for a future version.
Thanks
Yves

Re: Output Fx EQ3 on standalone version (suggestion)

Love your suggestion that it can be an "output equalizer, independent of the presets". (like global Velocity Curve is independent of each preset's saved curves if set on). Definitely would support that.

Others have brought up the desire for a simpler EQ - and I've suggested a tilt EQ, like mastering suites have provided since hardware days etc.. it's not a toy or a dumb tool, but often the final touch.. they can have some algorithmic magic under the hood, or be quite simple.. and since the other EQs are there for detailed editing, maybe just a quite plain tilt would suffice. The super magic is your suggestion though, of it being independent of the presets - it makes the notion all the more useful.

Brilliant - and believe it would save a huge amount of fuss for users. Superb, thank you for thinking of these things, and for keeping this feature idea alive!
