Is it possible in a future update for BB to have its own Graphic Equalizer?

You can just load a VST EQ into the Combo slot in the VST window.

If you click on Presets you can save your settings as a default settings so when you load it for each song it will have your same EQ setting.

Thanks Larry, there are a lot of good free vst's there.

Also you can add a free Mastering one to the Combo (master):

BB needs a little FX button next to the Master mute that opens the Combo slot.

Wouldn't a parametric EQ be more flexible and effective?

Don’t overlook the Tone setting in the BIAB mixer.

Users may not realize that if you expand the width of the mixer window, Tone becomes a slider. It’s remarkable the difference this can make. Lowering reverb from the default value of 40 also clears up the sound.

I wrote a full article about this: http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=411413&page=1

Doesn't the (basic install) PGMusic plugin executable contain both 5 and 10 band graphic EQ's?

I wonder how the OP doesn't see these in BiaB.
If they exist, simply saving a preset or group may easily solve the issue.
They aren't as pretty, but should be quite serviceable.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

generally, yes
PGMusic plugins contain a Parametric EQ as a 'hard write' option, not real-time.
For a real-time solution there are many free options. I've always leaned towards either A0 Parametric EQ or ReaEQ for free and quick options.
ReaEQ is a Reaper plugin that works fine in PGMusic products here.
Hope that helps

The ReaPlugs suite is well worth having in your list
