DUY MagicEQ
Equalizer
Normally, an EQ is blindfolded when it gets to processing. It doesn't "listen" to what it's equalizing. A traditional EQ lowers or enhances the level of a certain frequency without knowing what signal it's processing, and obviously without knowing the final result.
We can use a normal equalizer to increase the level at 1.2 KHz with a certain bandwidth of a Q=6, for example. It will be the engineer's responsibility to know if that particular band will allow us to obtain, for example, more "punch". The engineer will also have to experimentally check if he obtained the desired result.
With DUY's technology, you can tell MagicEQ how you would like your music to sound, and the software will take care of all the rest. When you press the LEARN button, a detailed analysis of the sound to process will begin. The result is immediately passed onto the OFIR technology with zero latency (see the "Technologies" section for further information). These details are equal to thousands of equalization bands, which will start adapting themselves without the engineer having to do anything at all. In the meantime, you can visualize on the lower display if your bands are pushed up or down with precision as the musical analysis is in process. If you wanted to do this with standard methods, it would take hours or maybe days, and the result would never be comparable to the precision achieved with DUY MagicEQ.
Once the LEARN analysis is over we can polish the result, either by selecting any of the many provided responses, or by modifying them at our choice with the spectral band controls, the Spectral Atmospheres and the amount of effect.
MagicEQ can forecast the engineer's desires without him having to take part in the process, and with a unique precision. This can be done thanks to intermediate processes within the analysis.
The design of MagicEQ removes all complexity in the equalizing process, by reducing the procedure to moving a few knobs, making it very easy to use.
MagicEQ functions creating the FINAL response curve. The user is to determine what this curve should be like.
MagicEQ also allows to accentuate the result by bands or also by "colours" / "spectral atmospheres", by using one dial for each "colour". These "colours" can also be combined, to have an optimal result with an unprecedented control in known audio hardware and software devices.
