AND I wouldn't have that great visual representation of all bands in the same window. Setting this up in a rack seems impossible, because the additive volume would change all the time when I move the bands in the different EQ8s around. Determening how hard I drive each band with the gain of that band. But I would like to move the frequencies and gains of all bands with knobs in real time. If I would want that in a static device, then sure I could set it up in a rack. That way I could drive the lows hard, leave the mids alone and gently drive the highs.

I have been thinking about how to achieve something like this for a while now, but nothing satisfactory came to mind. I appreciate the input, but I guess what I really want is the soft clip (or wave shaper as you say) for each band of EQ8. I'd guess at the one called 'medium curve'Īll waveshapers are very susceptible to frequency aliasing, so the higher your sample rate, the more likely you'll get nicer results. You can pick out a curve somewhat similar to the one described in Cytomic Glue. The Ableton Saturator is also an oversampling waveshaper (I think it's also 2x). It is linear up -2.0 dB then has a smooth curve to -0.5 dB and then is horizontal. It is in effect a zero attack time, zero release time peak level compressor which fixed infinite ratio and medium knee.
