Moving REW EQ filter numbers into the BFD

[lovingdvd]

I was reading a document that talked about setting frequency, fine, gain, and bandwidth in the BFD and how to do this manually (MIDI is not working yet until I get my v1.4 chip). The entering/storing part is easy enough to follow.

But what I want to make sure I understanding is how to translate the values from REW filter results into the freq/fine/gain/bandw settings in the BFD.

Although I did not see any information on this, I think I figured it out by looking at things but just want to make sure.

OK, let's take the first EQ filter shown in the second screen shot of this post: http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...31-post12.html

The first line for the filters shows this:
AUTO: PA 25.98, then in green are 25 +3, then gain of -7 and BW of 8, and then a Hz of 4.9.

Am I correct then to assume that when I set my filter in the BDF, I select 25 as the frequency, +3 as the fine, -7 gain and 8 bandwidth? Do I have this correct?

What is the Hz number for (in this case 4.9)? Do I need to do anything with this in BFD? Thanks!

Yes.............

No...........

I believe that this shows the frequency range of the current BW setting. It's based on how many 60ths of an octave, I believe. So a bandwidth of 5 would cover more frequencies at 80Hz than it would at 25Hz, because the octave is bigger at 80Hz.

Oh, very cool! Thanks for letting me know that is very useful.
