Jul 25, 2005 06:42 am Depends on the application, for much EQing Iuse a wide, gentle Q, for things like the 2.5k boost on distorted guitar I use a tight Q...just see what sounds best.

Jul 25, 2005 09:19 pm I use a Wide Q (lower number) for boosting and a high Q for Cutting frequencies.
Jul 25, 2005 10:50 pm My parametric eq in Cool Edit is preset at a Q of 2 and that's what I generally use, though I tweak it here and there when needed.
Jul 26, 2005 05:05 am thanks guys . . . another ? . . . are all Q's consisitant with other eq plug-ins? . . . would a -3db cut at 0.7 Q in cubase have the same results as an eq plug-in pro-tools?
Jul 26, 2005 11:42 am yep, Q is a standardized function....although i'm not sure on the specifics, and i'm sure there a few programs that don't adhear to the standard...but most "pro" apps do....and a q of 1.5 will mean the same thing from one eq to the next. usually.
Jul 27, 2005 04:06 am Q is just a fancy way of stating how many octaves (or Hertz.) the EQ curve will effect before it hits the turnover F.
