No default cutoffs for high-fi EQs. Leads to incorrect EQ behavior.

[Clemens]

I'm running the 1.8.0 beta1 on ubuntu 9.10 32bit (amd 64 X2 DualCore 4200+, 2gb ram)
"cat /proc/asound/cards" tells
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                          HDA NVidia at 0xf9ff8000 irq 21

(onboard Realtek HDA card)
MIDI devices are not in use

I can't control the high- band- and lowpass filter separately. Changing band- and lowpass filter or killing these ranges won't do anything, the highpass controller and its kill switch affect the song on all ranges, so that killing highrange kills the whole song.
There are no error messages when running mixxx from the console.

Hey Clemens,

Are you using the high quality EQs or static EQs? You can configure the EQs from the preferences menu. It may very well be that our static EQ settings are bad or at least unsuitable for the type of music you are playing. What kind of music are you playing?

Thanks,
RJ

Also, did you use 1.7.2? Does this occur in 1.7.2 for you?

[Clemens (cle1911)]

static EQ works, it really seems to be a problem with the high quality EQ settings, I'll check that.

[Clemens (cle1911)]

and yes: in 1.7.2 it worked

What are your high and low filter EQs cutoffs set to? Can you try setting your top one to 2.5 kHz and your bottom to around 100 Hz and see if that helps?

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Finally realized this is because the default when you install mixxx is static eqs. If you turn off static-eqs, then your high-fi EQ cutoffs both default to 0. We should set some sane defaults, like 250Hz for the low and 2500Hz for high (those are arbitary). With both cutoffs at 0, the high EQ is the only knob that has any effect.

Fixed in lp:mixxx/1.9 r2664 like 3 weeks ago and forgot to mark it here :/
