how does this work again? in the tools section under option 3 you can get into the parametric eq. now tell me if i am right:

gain, is for the boosting and decreasing of a frequencie's amplitude. right?

the center frequency is were the "bell" of the eq will be at it's lowest right?

the band width is equivant to the Q of a parametric eq right?

so if i have a really small Q and a center frequency of 500, then that frequency will only be affected, right?

now if i have a Q of say 100 and a center frequency of 500, does that mean that the eq starts to affect 100hz to the left and to the right of the center frequency? so basically if i could see it graphicaly it would look like a bell going from 400, lowest point 500, then back up at 600?

is that how it works, or is it more like a split? like fifty on eiter side?

i thought i understood parametric eq's but i can't seem to get quite what i want out of the emu's, well results that i would't have thought i would get anyway.

any input would be great.. thanks

Using Sound Forge's spectrum analysis tool, it appears that the bandwidth is centered on the center frequency, and there is half on either side of that freq.

So with a bandwidth of 500 Hz, the boost/cut is at maximum at the center frequency, and returns to normal 250Hz above and below that freq.
