My issue is that it has an awfully bloated filter (which is suboptimal
according to fons) taking up a lot of cpu-power, while for me it could
perfectly to with a parametric eq (either three bands + shelve or four
bands).
Ok, Thanks for the clarification. I am pretty sure you know already that
there are two eq modes in jamin? 30 band multi and 3 band parametric with
shelves. However there is not 4 band. It wouldn't be that hard to add
though if you are serious about it as the three band code is a good place
to start.
If I understood Fons and yourself correctly, the "parametric eq" is just
another way of modifying the response of the big filter.
My idea is _not_ to *add* a three-band parametric, but to *replace* the
convolution-based eq with one of the very fine ladspa plugins of parametric eq.
This should lower cpu-usage quite a lot. And if your audio signal needs a 31-
band or a free-hand-drawn equalizer, you are better off with fixing the mix or
using freqtweak, I think.
Have fun,
