Simple multiband EQ with separate outputs for each band ?

[ab459]

Hi
I liked the idea in Red Rock Sound RE60 analyzer https://www.propellerheads.com/shop/rac ... -analyzer/, but as i wrote viewtopic.php?p=429513#p429513 it cpu hungry a bit.

So, maybe exists some eq with this ability ? Ofcourse desirable with large amount of bands (16 or more), and graphical or not - no matter. It can be even some simple audio frequency separator (exactly like in RE60) with hard fixed freq's, it's ok.

You could build your own with MClass Stereo Imager then do with each band whatever you want

There are plenty band splitters as RE available, payed and free. Stereo Imager in cascades with a bit cabling. ColoringEQ, 4Dyn and probably many more devices can help.

Guys, yes i understand that i can build this. Moreover, many things that exists in RE could be replaced by internal Reason abilities, but they was made because save time and resourses, and somewhere aesthetic moment. So, need this exactly in form of ready for use module.
I do not want to say that i do not need advices on "how to do it", but this case has such nature that would desirable simple module, without a lot of additional devices\wires inside.

One idea would be to take the audio you're attempting to EQ-band split and route it into a Spider Audio splitter and then split that audio into six outputs. Take those 6 outputs and plug each split into a EQ, ie perhaps the M-Class or something like the LabOne 131 (31 band EQ). From there pick from left to right what part of the EQ spectrum you want each EQ to focus on. Example: the low-end split a might be frequencies from 40hz to 200hz, the next 200hz to ____, and so on. Important to keep in mind that you should keep all your EQ bands at '0', beside the frequencies you decide to cut/lower in volume.

Play the Audi in a unfiltered audio track as well while you're figuring out your splits, EQ settings and depth of the curves of each EQ. This might cause some phasing issues so you might want to insert a RE that can flip phase on each of the six EQs outputs just to be safe, then you can apply different processing to each of the outputs from six EQs. Then you could route all six EQs outputs back into a Spider merger to combine then into one output.

You could also route the six EQ outs to separate audio tracks/SSL channel strips too.

Most important thing is to try to get as close as possible to the original audio's level/volume while comparing your new band-split processed audio, ie the 6 EQ split.

You might have to mess around with the neighboring EQ bands next to your subtractive split frequencies, as in small positive bumps on the neighboring frequencies to flatten out the areas by your splits.

This is just a idea I had off the top of my head so not entirely sure this approach would be effective for what you're shooting for.

MB EQing is a pain in Reason, atm. The x-overs are blunt, and band interaction is lacking.

4Dyne is Cool.
But, the rest estate needed to run two for stereo makes it... prohibitive.

Consider this faceplate of audio, x-overs, and CV points - for ideas:

I would double for the Selig ColringEq but it splits the signal in less bands (7+main).

[ab459]

Thanks for thoughts.

What regards to

I would double for the Selig ColringEq but it splits the signal in less bands (7+main).

Besides less outputs he's pretty heavy by look (i guess to resources too, due to a much extra abilities), let it be the moment "simple" in my request as necessary.

Rob papen eq lets you solo a band. So take an audio splitter and make a bunch of outputs into a few rp eq and use the solo band feature

GQ7 can send out the eq change only, but it will be a mix of the bands affecting/eq'ing the sound. Small button at top right.

Just to clarify, are you looking for an EQ or for a multi-band splitter? They are pretty much mutually exclusive, which is why there is no “multi-band EQ” in existence that I’m aware of.

Maybe better to ask what you are trying to accomplish?

Ideally variant for me would be some "frequency separator with fixed values", i.e. exactly what we see in RE60, but without spectrum analyzer.

But, aware of the likely "exoticism" of this kind of things, I decided that it would be more likely to find a similar among EQ's.

It is just interesting to try to divide the source signal into separate frequency channels, and try to process each one separately. As an experiment.
And fixed (and already proportionally divided) frequencies in this case will be even more preferable than with the possibility of their adjustment - that would be redundant for this purpose. Just it's easier and faster.

The coolest method in Reason is to create parallel channels, filter each of them to a specific bandwidth and machining. In my opinion, it is the best and the most plastic method. The extension of this goal will be more limited than parallel channels. In addition, parallel channels should support delay compensation. The band in the parallel channel can also be filtered using MClass Imager, not just filters.

To automate this process in order to automatically adjust the frequency of the various bands, I recommend using khs multipass. It takes care of all delays and gives wolves the ability to create sound. Great VST. You will like it.

Hm, never tried kilohearts plugins yet, need will be check.
