Suggestion: Normalize (flatten) the reference curve
Posted: Thu May 05, 2005 10:12 am
Please consider adding this new function: the ability to normalize (flatten) the reference curve, and apply the same correction to the loaded file's curve. Two advantages would be:
1. It's easier to match a straight line than it is to match a complex curve.
2. The normalized display would directly show the difference between the reference curve and the loaded file's curve. We could tell at a glance, "I need to add 4 dB at 315 Hz." Or we could tell at glance, "Putting the mic near the sound hole boosts 80 Hz by 10 dB."
The word "Normalized" or whatever should appear onscreen when it is enabled. This function would not be the default.
Thanks for the opportunity to make suggestions.
Best wishes,
