I think this table will speed up your workflow as it is doing to mine.

Just uploaded version II.

You may  download version II. ( no spacing snakes now).

Still not sure why the notes are there.

I believe Dave thought that an easy reference would be something like, "That low A on the bass is sticking out." Having that legend on the Ibis makes it an easy grab. Tougher if you don't have perfect or absolute pitch but still doable. Just not how most of us think or work.
But that's why he's Dave. Thank heavens.

[Alécio Costa - Brazil]

I find the original table very confusing.
That is why I created this one.
Well, hope it helps.

[djwaudio]

Agreed, well done Al

[Alécio Costa - Brazil]

Thanks,Dana.
If I had seen your ad before, I would have probably bought yours. Is your unit the mastering version?

[dcollins]

If it was useful, Bill Putnam would have put it on eq's years ago, and it would be on every device ever made..................

It Hertz me every time I see it.

Wouldn't it have more to do with the frequency choices more so than the fact he has chosen to print notes? Assuming that most tune to A=440 it makes perfect sense to me. It follows a musical pattern more so than a purely technical approach.

What's a 73.4Hz?

err that would be open D on a Fender Bass... the fundamental that is.

as well as the open D string on a Double Bass... referenced to A = 440

I just couldn't resist.

agreed the Ibis would better serve most users with it's graphics in Hz.

maybe someone could do an aftermarket plastic veneer?

And it doesn't make you less of a muso, to know that the song may be in C major, but the knobs are labeled something else......

As I always say right around this time, we should learn to identify frequencies, in Hertz, by ear.

If they VSO'd the master by 2% you won't know which way is up, if you use a tuner.  


The chart is not the territory.

Perhaps it would be better to take a mallet to the face plate to mimic a steel pan. That way you would only have to tap the faceplate to know what note you're working on.

Oh, yah - I mean, I understand why they are there, and in some recording/mixing environs it might make sense, but I still can't understand why the mastering version had them. I asked Dave to make a normal panel for the mastering version (as new panels had to be created anyway) and he decided against it.

Doesn't really matter - I like the EQ and I rarely even look at the numbers anyway.

[masterhse]

Personally I wouldn't care if it had do, re, mi, Ki, Hara, Manny, Mo, Jack, or even just a series of dots. Ultimately the question is how are you impacting the music and what does it sound like? The more significant thing about this unit is that Dave has chosen frequencies that represent a standard 12 tone musical scale. The choice of these frequencies and intervals tend to lend themselves to a more musical approach to EQ (IMHO) and directly address the more commonly encountered problem freqs.

Sure if someone VSOed the master, the instruments were not tuned to A 440, or with instruments like cymbals and other percussion the chosen "tuning" doesn't mean as much, but I think that DH was shooting for the more commonly encountered issues associated with EQing music.

Does anyone know if Dave plays(ed) an insrument?

edit: I was in mid post before I saw Brad's above

I agree totally.

[Alécio Costa - Brazil]

It is really interesting to have both data, HZ and musical notes, but EQualizing to notes would only make sense if you had a track or a spot of a track with a single instrument performing.
