OK, so, prochannel "fiddly" ness with EQ........

Is it me having issues with dragging up, down, over, etc with the graphical display in the EQ on prochannel? It's like the mouse and the GUI just don't like each other.......

DAMN! I wonder what I could be doing wrong? Must be me. To elaborate, if I go to grab an eq node (lets just say green :D ), it FIGHTS me. And it has a tendency to be fiddly, like if I'm not perfect, it will turn off! Must be me, I wonder what I could be doing wrong.........

Good call on the batteries, except it's a wired mouse :D

The one thing I do not like about the quad EQ is the absolute lack of an optional large display for it. In Sonar 8.5 and earlier the built in EQ used the Sonitus EQ which could be opened with a double click on the EQ plot.

This should be made a priority in a future patch. Perhaps a button could be added that would bring up a simple graphic display that the user could re-size as the user wished.

 

@steve, I don't know how to change the plot resolution, looking into that. (this is the pro channel, not sure if it's like the sonitus) A CLUE! This behavior I'm getting is a problem with HPF or LPF engaged. Turn those off, and it works better. @synk: Sure, that is a viable option but grabbing the nodes should work too :)

Using the console view and eq resolution set on AUTO I can move the nodes around easily from North to South and East to West. Works great.

However - in track view. Only East to West works smoothly. North to South is like you described - fiddly.

Hmmm I see what you mean about moving nodes with HPF or LPF engaged. It's not as bad as you say it is on my end, re: dragging the mouse over half your desk, but it does feel like the whole EQ unit is under water or something. This needs fixing pronto.

Totally agreer John
I click on rotor so you get the four white corners, then I use + or – on my keyboard. Much easier 

Ok, I'm sorry I can't address everyone individually, quote just DOESN'T WORK here :grrrrr: I grid res now in the console view. However as mentioned, that is not the area I'm having the issue with, it's in the inspector (I've really grown fond of the inspector!) Anyways, nice that it's not just me, because then there is an outside chance that cake will look into it. BTW, why wouldn't there be a resolution option on the inspector/prochannel?? Odd.

The nodes do seem a lot less responsive in the inspector.

I am getting the same sluggish movement especially north shouth...east west isn't to bad.
Knobs work great though!

Yep, I'm with you there Chris.


As an aside, I also struggle with the Sonitus EQ when it comes to dragging the nodes around.

And on top of that, I think I'd rather have a 30 band graphic EQ than a parametric one, I sometimes can't get my head around how the curves are produced, whereas with a graphic EQ I know exactly what frequencies I want to boost and cut and I find it much quicker.

"maginifier" on the taskbar,it's too easy,give it a try.

Cool trick! my friend. Cool Trick!

Thanks,by the way,I notice you have the "UA-55"-being the USB2.0 "QuadCapture" yes?,and your sig. also mentions the "UA-25",which is what I have[but mine's the "EX"-still USB 1.1],my question is-how much better is the UA-55? in terms of buffers[lowest e.g 128/256/512/1024/2048??],and the average stable Round Trip Latency?


My UA-25EX,cant do any lower than 188 samples[1 bar lower than suggested ASIO bar thingy]and 12.6 ms of Round Trip Latency,but THAT is on my Overclocked i7-2600k desktop,on my dell laptop[which I seem to be using more ATM,the BEST it can do is,double the samples-higher bar in ASIO control panel,and 25.8 ms RTL.


Any info comparing the 2 would be cool THANKS

With my QUAD-CAPTURE connected to my i7 laptop I'm just about getting around 10ms roundtrip

Thanks for the anwser,though your laptop "ivy" cpu,is actually higher rated[not sure when it comes to audio] than my desktop "sandy" 2600k,and my laptop i7 2630QM is a bit weaker[6mb cache],than the desktop,but I appreciate the realistic,data.
