Here is a starting point for a default list of curves.  This forms part of a [[Proposal Import/Export Eq Curves|Proposal for Import and Export of Equalization curves]]. Note that I have added some attributes to the 'curve'; these are not decided on yet.

This is a 'proposal' page for a default list of curves.  It started as part of a [[Proposal Import/Export Eq Curves|Proposal for Import and Export of Equalization curves]]. It is now where we are catagorising ideas and firming up proposals.

Alternatively load the [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1327769/EQCurves.xml proposed default curve], which may have been updated (but does not always follow this page).

The following curves have been suggested (only the ones marked in <font color="green">green</font> are actually in the current [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1327769/EQCurves.xml proposed default curve].

This is a 'proposal' page for a default list of curves. It started as part of a Proposal for Import and Export of Equalization curves. It is now where we are catagorising ideas and firming up proposals.

You should be able to copy-paste the curves in the boxes below into your EQCurves.xml and have them appear next time you open 'Effect->Equalization...'. Alternatively load the proposed default curve, which may have been updated (but does not always follow this page).

Also see Submit your EQ Curves on the Forum for some possible curves for consideration.

Probably 'in'

  • AM Radio

MJS Replacement 'AM Radio' curve. Cutoffs at 50Hz and 4.5kHz, 8th-order rolloff. Limited number of points to make editing easier should a user not like it.

  • 100Hz Rumble

from Koz http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=33824#p90963). MJS I like this as it has a reference and I can see the use. Why shelve at -40-odd dB though? Why not go all the way down? I suggest removing the first 4 points and replacing with <point f="20.0" d="-80.0"/>. (I've done that in the current proposed default curve but am willing to change it back if there is a good reason for it.) 

    <curve name="100Hz Rumble">
        <point f="25.558066373145" d="-40.000000000000"/>

'Generic' boost/cut curves

MJS: Just give users an idea of what these might look like. We don't have agreed definitions of 'boost' or 'cut' or 'treble' of 'bass' so give easily-modified (few points) prototypes?

  • Bass Boost
    <curve name="Bass Boost">
        <point f="100.000000000000" d="9.000000000000"/>
        <point f="500.000000000000" d="0.000000000000"/>
    </curve>
  • Bass Cut
	<curve name="Bass Cut">
		<point f="150.000000000000" d="-50.000000000000"/>
		<point f="300.000000000000" d="0.000000000000"/>
	</curve>
  • Treble Boost
	<curve name="Treble Boost">
		<point f="4000.000000000000" d="0.000000000000"/>
		<point f="5000.000000000000" d="9.000000000000"/>
	</curve>
  • Treble Cut
	<curve name="Treble Cut">
		<point f="6000.000000000000" d="0.000000000000"/>
		<point f="10000.000000000000" d="-110.000000000000"/>
	</curve>

Proposals, undiscussed here

  • others that should be in the default list
   Paste here
  • rumble filter

MJS: Do we need this in addition to '100Hz Rumble'? 

   Paste here

Proposed and under discussion

  • 60 Hz notch - Gale: We are going to distribute notch.ny with Audacity which can cut a much deeper notch, so we probably don't need this. Additional parameters have been proposed for this (curve length="8192" category="default" draw="yes" log="yes") but filter length can't be set this way yet. 
	<curve name="60Hz notch">
		<point f="49.4" d="0"/>
		<point f="60" d="-120"/>
		<point f="71.3" d="0"/>
	</curve>

Probably out

  • acoustic - Gale: generic acoustic 78 rpm curve. In reality there are hundreds of 78 rpm curves.
  • MJS: Who says 'acoustic' is a 'generic acoustic 78 rpm curve'? I've never seen that before. I always wondered what it was! It looks very crude and not very useful to me.
    • Gale: Good job you queried it. I'm sure from comments I've seen before that it was "intended" as some kind of "very early" curve, but on reflection the huge cut in the lowest frequencies makes little sense. In any case from now casting around in articles on the web e.g. http://www.shellac.org/wams/wequal.html it's clear that acoustic 78 rpms were not recorded with any EQ; the idea only started in the electrical era. So I also think this curve isn't useful. 
	<curve name="acoustic">
		<point f="50" d="-20"/>
		<point f="63" d="5"/>
		<point f="70" d="4.400000095367"/>

  • Inverse RIAA Gale: This is a convenience included in 1.3.12 release, but not mandatory as you can use the button to invert the RIAA curve.
  • MJS: This is outdated by the improved RIAA curve below. I suggest that it is not included in the default EQCurves for the reason given just above.
    • Gale: Agreed it's marginal, though no doubt some would like it/may not figure you can invert the RIAA curve. I don't mind updating it against the new RIAA curve if others think we want it. If not, it can go.
