A Graphic eq typically had multiple bands with a narrow fixed q - typically used for room corrections for live foh mixing. A Parametric equalizer is simply one that has adjustable frequency center, cut and boost, and band width (aka Q).
So the term applies only to the look and the marketing - not to what the eq's capabilities are at all.īut Brad's definitions are much more accurate in terms of traditional hardware design. In terms of "Paragraphic" in the case of these gui's - the different bands all have faders for boost/cut lined up next to each other so that when they are adjusted it looks like a graphic of the frequency curve. In the case of these particular plugins the use of the terms only has to deal with the look of the gui and not with their actual functions. Maybe I need to tweak the "Q" on the Renaissance. I was specifically comparing the Izotope Ozone Paragraphic & Waves C10 Paragraphic to the Waves Renaissance Parametric on some work I'm trying to polish up.
