re: multiple headphone eq simultaneously (hesuvi)

[Harlizzle]

I'm using hesuvi and virtualizing surround on three different headphones using three different jacks on the soundcard. in the hesuvi app, i can apply eq to each connection, but i like the sound of peace eq.
i was not able to find a way to differentiate which connection i am using on the soundscard to do separate eq (upon which i would need instruction on how to apply a separate eq to each headphone), if this is possible. or is this something i need to configure in hesuvi first?

thank you in advance

Hmm... how Peace can sound good if it has no effect in audio (it just writes an include file for EqualizerAPO to use)?

For simultaneously use you can add any filter to any available channel :

Channel: 1 2
  #put your filters for channels 1&2 here
Channel: 3 4
  #put your filters for channels 3&4 here
Channel: 5 6
  #put your filters for channels 5&6 here
  Channel: All
    #put your filters for shared with all channels here

If you want to use different configuration for each headphone you do it easiest by switching (including) configuration file for headphones in use (you can do this by disabling two other include commands and enabling the on you want to (This is easy to do through Configuration Editor).

...
#Include: headphones1.txt
Include: headphomes2.txt
#Include: headphones3.txt
...

IIRC, you can add this include command below some Channel command as well.

i dont know how to do it via commands, only via gui

I guess you can also make separate EQs in Peace for each headphones and select one when needed. As Peace is using an include command in config.txt (the main audio changing command file) I think you can also continue to use HeSuVi as it also uses include files.

i'm looking at peace, and i dont know how to select the individual connections from hesuvi on it. how do i select the source in peace?

[Peter Verbeek]

They should be listed in the devices list at the right. If they are in HeSuVi then they are in Peace or generally speaking in Equalizer APO.

[Harlizzle]

okay, i forgot to thank you so much for developing such a wonderful interface and for taking the time to respond to me.

is it possible, on peace, to eq two headphones out of two jacks of the soundcard simultaneously? could i send a stereo signal to say front/speaker jack and a stereo signal to the center/sub jack, and then eq both with peace simultaneously?

[Peter Verbeek]

Only if these jacks are mentioned as 2 separate audio devices or as separate channels. Equalizer APO can only select audio devices or select channels. For instance on my former laptop which combined speakers and a headphones jack in 1 device.

When talking about channels jacks in Peace you need to select (use) the speakers list at the right. One can EQ per speaker or per speaker combi (think stereo speakers or so) thus simultaneous EQ-ing of channels.

When talking about more than one audio device EQ-ing this is difficult as Windows doesn't allow the simultaneous output to more than 1 audio device but one can EQ them in Peace by using its Automation window. When select a device it's then EQ-ed. To set it up:
- Create an EQ for each device.
- Put one or more of these EQ configs in the "Always active" list on the Automation window.

[Harlizzle]

thank you, i think i understand how now, but could you tell me where the automation window is and the always active list? i will give it a shot and report back!

[Peter Verbeek]

You'll find the automation window under the robot-like button to the right of the bottom left configurations list.
