What determines high frequency and low frequency? I know it's a dumb question but I'm asking anyway. May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

Q is calculated by the formula Q = (center frequency)/((high frequency) - (low frequency)) Hopefully you have punctuation announcement turned on for that. Here's an example: Q = 1000/(1750 - 750) Q = 1 Another example Q = 1000/(1100 - 900) Q = 5 The higher the Q parameter, the narrower the affected band of frequencies. There is no easy Q to octave correspondence. Luckily, there are handy web tools for this and other audio calculations. Here's an example. http://www.musiccalculator.com/ If you want to really dig into the math, here's a great article. http://www.rane.com/note170.html and, for an explanation from Moulton himself on the relationship between HZ, Q and octave, check out http://www.recordingmag.com/resources/resourceDetail/261.html Chris At 01:11 PM 7/23/2012, you wrote: >Hello List, > >I must say I've been learning a great deal thanks to Chris's advice and >recommendation of "Golden Ears."
