    Always too late :D Never mind, for £3, it's worth a punt though, I too would use visualizer for when I am in noisy environment, or for easily noting the main frequencies of one sound (without needing to sweep an eq to find them) , when trying to make space for them in another sound.

  • Canada Day weekend up here so not had much time to play with this app. I might have found a bug however. I can crash the audio by moving an EQ point at the same time as moving the Gain. It seems to spike the audio and I have to reset the iPad to get sound back.

    10.5 running 11.4

  • Looking forward to the visualizer also! This is a great initiative.

  • Just watched Dougs video and it looks very nice. Is there a way to reset any of the bands by double tapping or something?

    There seems not to be a visualizer?

    It does look nice, but how is this any better/different than Zmors EQ? Which is such a valuable parametric eq AU already.

    The dev has submitted an update with a visualiser. I like z mors but it crashes a lot within b3. Not sure if it’s the daw or the fx. This one seems a lot more straight forward. Nuts and bolts

    Wow, that's great. I missed the update with visualizer. Very cool.

    And as a point of protocol: I realize this forum is for the users, not the developers. But is it uncool to have posted a link to a competing app in a thread started by the developer him/herself?

    If you already have zMors EQ, you don't need Blue Mangoo Parametric EQ. zMors has more features than ours does. If you don't have zMors yet, here's why you might like ours:

    1. it's $2.99, which makes it the most affordable AU3 EQ on the App Store
    2. you will not find another EQ that can get your sound dialed in more quickly than this does.
    3. it looks nice
    4. it will have a visualiser in the next update, coming this week, hopefully.

    It's fine with me.

    I hope you won't need that because of the way the controls are designed.

    When I use some other EQ apps, I have difficulty when the controls are too sensitive. For example, I want a filter at 0 db gain but every time I release my finger from the control it ends up at something like 0.031. To avoid that, in this app, everything you do in the UI is rounded to audibly significant increments. So you can have 0 dB or 1 dB but not 0.3243 dB. If you use the app via automation from your DAW, it's not rounded like that, so you can do smooth fades. But when you are pulling the controls around in the app, it forces you to choose round numbers and only allows you to move in increments that are audible.

    Surefire way to make me want to buy your app is to tell me I don't need. OH REALLY??
    But the visualizer is huge. So I will dive in.

    Thanks for being so cool.

  • @AndyPlankton said:

    It is pretty sweet. Super fast, slick looking, sounds excellent. And an awesome, no B.S. developer. He tells it like it is.
    For $3, you can’t go wrong. Really convenient and useful to have in the toolbox. If you need handy, streamlined AU paraEQ, this is it. Once it gets that visualizer, game over for the other EQs I fear.

  • Looks good and I not only need an AU EQ, but need to learn to use them better... How is it on CPU? I just bought it, but won’t be messing with it immediately.

    I had a File Player going in AUM, running at about 3%. I added EQ and went nuts tweaking stuff randomly, really fast. The DSP went up to 6%, occasionally 7%.

    iPad Air 2. Everything up to date.

    @DMan @CracklePot

    Most of the CPU usage is for the graphics in the UI. And that will increase when we add the visualiser. But when you close the view and keep it running in the background it should be very light and fast.

  • @Blue_Mangoo I’ll be glad to have the visualizer and yeah, running in background will be the state of it most of the time. @CracklePot thanks for the info on the Air 2. I use Air 2, but also a Pro. The 12.9 Pro doesn’t travel around as much though. As you see in my profile pic, the Air 2 does.

    Looks like they are all gone. Would love one with a visualizer one day,

    We actually had a visualiser in this one, but we took it out. In theory I know what the visualiser is supposed to do, but in practice I don't find it useful.

    Just out of curiosity, can you tell me something about why the visualizer is important to you, or name a desktop based EQ that has a visualiser that you really like?

    Permit me to disagree with the lack of usefulness of a visualizer. Some musicians have ear deficiencies in some areas of the frequency spectrum. It is the case for me around 6000hz with my right ear. And so, what a visualizer enables us to do is to correct what we can't perceive so our songs are even for most listeners.

    So thanks for bringing it back in. It will be an instant buy for me once the update is out.

  • Maybe have a toggle for the visualiser to save CPU for some people who aren’t fussed and need to preserve every bit of performance?

    Dev feedback and attitude encourages people on fence to fall off btw. :)

  • Got this and I gotta say the eq in bm3 is better for me..maybe I’m missing something..

  • @skulptur_sound said:

    Personally, if I was going to compare it to any other eq it would not be the bm3 one. Never got on with that due to it’s non standard implementation. It does not have the traditional bell curve so if you want to cut frequency’s with the band shelf you only get about 5% of the dial movement and the filter then changes more into a notch type.

  • I actually like the GarageBand EQ which has a visualiser and is simple to use like this I wish Apple would make it full screen mind. Got the Blue One for universal use it’s pretty neat.

    The GarageBand one can go full screen. Tap the arrows on the right of the middle screen title bar.

    I hadn't considered that. thank you.

    Yes, this, plus us older folks cannot perceive the higher frequencies unless we turn it up full volume.

  • @TheVimFuego said:

    I think we'll just keep the visualiser as lightweight as possible and let people close the view if they want to save CPU. The more settings we add, the farther we get from having a simple, uncluttered UI.

  • Bought. Clean and simple, looking forward to the visualiser, I like to see things moving to the music

    Insightful and useful to know. Quick question:

    When controlling by MIDI, is the smoothness of the sweep limited by the resolution of MIDI (IE. 128 steps), or is it possible to achieve a smoother sweep than this by incremental modification or (ideally) 'Relative MIDI' control or whatever other method is available?

    Thanks,
    Oscar

  • Just to expand my imagination from the last post (just conceptual in general -- I don't want to suggest increasing complexity) in addressing the issue this EQ's developer discusses (value changing when removing finger):

    The low resolution limit of standard 'Absolute MIDI' range is not really ideal for fine tuning an EQ, so it can be a lot better to adjust with a touchscreen control, where a finer grain can be achieved. Perhaps an alternative solution would not be to lock the control to rounded values, but to allow for the finest possible degree of control and additionally provide a 'LOCK' button, which after pressing prevents any further value modification until the current touch ends and the next begins.

    Here's a screenshot with the visualizer running. We need another day to check the code and make sure it's as lightweight and efficient as possible before we update.

  • @Blue_Mangoo nice looking update!

    Am I the only one reporting the audio spikes and crashes? Will reinstall if so.
