ReaEQ weird heavy EQ behavior (SOLVED)

I discovered that in ReaEQ, to get more than a 12db boost, you have to drag the point on the graphical display rather than the slider. This is a little bit screwy. While it works fine for nonmoving EQ, if you want to automate the boost level you can't get higher than 12db

May I ask why in the world anyone would ever need 12db boost? Generally if your going over 6db, your material needs to be re-recorded or trashed all together. Unless you liked blurred phased out stuff.. Is there some special use for having 12db or something? Especially a boost!! Also, the more gap you put on the sliders, the harder it is to dial in a value, since theres more "steps". Imagine if there were 30dbs.. you'd have 60 steps... harder to dial in the exact amount you want... ~Rob.

I think I see your point -but that still makes me wonder why on earth you can get more db on the graph than with the sliders. I suppose it's not a major prob though

Ouch, just grab another sample with some high end and mix in.... damn... Guess we all have our ways :) ~Rob.

glad I got some support -total newb here for a second I thought I was completely crazy to want more than 12db and thanks for the settings tip ollie reaEQ works correctly now

ReaFIR is linear phase in default mode (pre and post impulse ringing), but seems to be minimum phase (only post impulse ringing) with the "Reduce artifacts (less effective)" checkbox active. Many lin-phase eqs are FFT based, but some of the more expensive ones (i.e. Algorithmix PEQ Orange) are bidirectional IIR.

I'll try and get MAutoEqualizer running in the VSTAnalyzer in Wine on OSX :p ... Ok that's not working ... here's a time-domain impulse response in their normal lin-phase mode (the one they refer to as "true bidirectional filtering) ... +10.06dB peak at 666Hz (just what I grabbed first) It's definitely linear phase.
