    Hello! I’m sorry if the same question has been asked already.

    I have a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, there are 4 line outs.

    Sub connected to output 3 and 4. But in PEACE GUI equalizer process all 4 outputs identicaly. In the dynamic config in the PEACE interface there are choose left and right outputs only. How can I equalization outputs 3 and 4 separately from 1 and 2?

    Hi,

    which dynamic config do you mean?

    I mean "edit combination of speakers"

    So basically, if I understand it correctly, you have 4 outputs - so it is possible to output stereo twice - and you want to equalize each stereo output, but in Peace you see only stereo, so left and right and not like left 1, right 1 and left 2 and right 2.

    First of all, Peace is a graphical interface, although advanced and with various useful features and effects, but it depends on what Equalizer APO supports. Is it possible to choose from the devices, which outputs you want to use? Like one device being the output for 1 & 2 and other device for 3 & 4? If yes, then it's correctly showed and I think that it should be possible to equalize them, but otherwise, I'm not sure about it.

    and you want to equalize each stereo output
    Exactly!
    I have 4 line outputs and 3-4 outputs connected to the subwoofer. I want to equalize it separately. Is it possible with APO equalizer? I can’t guess how... (

    As said by L.H. it depends on what's available in the Peace device list (actually the Windows device list). If your device is mentioned only once then Equalizer APO, thus Peace, doesn't have access to it.

    Peter, my device is mentioned twice.

    But when I choose second name of my device equalizer doesn't work. When I choose first - equalizer of LR speakers process all outputs

    When looking at the device name Focusrite USB, it seems it doesn't have a distinction between output 1/2 and 3/4. The manufacturer has made an audio driver with only one device entry into Windows. All audio routing is done in the software of the manufacturer. So outside software like Equalizer APO can't get to it. Perhaps this behaviour can be changed in the software of on the Window audio panel of the software.

    I think that you should look at sound devices in Windows to see exactly what each device is meant for.

     
  • L. H.    [Lubomír]

    Or differently said, what device they represent. I assume it should be somehow specified.

    In windows audio settings there are only one Focusrite device... If ASIO driver is used, then it is possible to route different signals to each pair of outputs whith different processing. Unfortunately, APO does not support asio driver...
    Thank you for your answers.
    Where can I find manual to use option Command in PEACE?

    It isn't so the Equalizer APO isn't supporting ASIO, Windows isn't (or can't) support an APO for ASIO, thus no software is able to get to the audio stream of the particular ASIO device.

    If you're talking about the Command window of Peace, just go to it and click the Help button. For a full description of the Equalizer APO commands go to this webpage of the Equalizer APO wiki.
