3 Band EQ on tracks in session view.

I know, I know, you can easily just drop a 3 band EQ on your track but I hate that its only visible when you select that particular track. Just small little dials placed beside the track volume would be fine.

my live mixer is cluttered up enough as it is..
3 band eqs aren't that useful.. i only use eq3 when cutting things out. eq8 is much more useful for mixing.

IF this should be implemented, than please give us a button to hide it. And to turn it off of course.
I also use EQ3 very rarely.

P.S. to wishlist forum users: Please search for former requests. Otherwise they will be splitted into many small ones and we are loosing impact!!!

This feature would probably be most useful to DJs but I still think it would be useful nonetheless. It would just be nice to have a visual cue of what the eq is on multiple tracks at a time without having to select them and view it individually.

get M4L make a custom floating gui panel for your track eqs, this is not something I would want cluttering up my mixer either.

Maybe it would be more appealing to be able to display (or hide, of course) macro knobs on each track, rather than tie it to a specific effect.

Hmm THIS sounds like something to think about! Of course with an option to hide it!

please intergrate eq3 or maybe eq5 (sub 0-120hz, lower mid 120-300hz,higher mid 300-2.500hz, highs above 2.500hz)

I need this option very much.. by now you can build sends & give your tracks "send only" and bring it back in a mix out track. In these way it works but you don't get the exact thing like you have without these sends, so its better than nothing but you loose quality & tightness..

so at the end I would love an EQ section in the mixer, but it should have a rotary for every eq section, not a switch.

as long as you can hide like i-o, s|r, M, D should be fine for everyone 8)

just to cut things fast and easy!

Hi there,

i did something similar as an audio effect Rack. By now I call it RotaryEQ4.

It looks this way.
Image

Download RotaryEQ4.Adg and save it in your audio Effect Rack browser in your Ableton Library. http://www.mediafire.com/?ddedidtzd2osrgz

So in the End you have 4 EQ3's bound in a Audio Effect rack. Every Makro Rotary you can control ( Sub, Low Mid, Mid, High) has its own EQ3 but only got a specific frequencyrange. So In the and if you turn every Rotary to Full Range you have 0 db at every frequency range, so its like you put the EQ off. You can do it as a test if it works :D.

If you turn a Makro you will put the volume of the specific Frequency range down.. so in the End you have the same function we all want here. The only disadvantage you don't have is that you don't see which frequency is not at full range if you look at the mixer.. like with the sends.. it tried something like that with sends but i had some problems in delay time so i came to this conclusion.
As long Ableton doesn't have this function I tihink its a good way to get along with it.

The lovely thing within this tool is you can choose your frequency range on your own.. and if you want more controls just copy a mid range ( not sub or high) and specify it and make a new makro button.


But this is not as good as a real EQ control section in the mixer in ableton ;)
