This is such an insightful comment; wish more understood. These tactics are used across all industries with marketing (propaganda) attempting to convince the consumer that the change is good/this food is good for you and that is bad/changes and added costs are for your safety/etc. It is so frustrating when you suspect, do some digging, and realize that what’s good for the bottom line (now and in the future) is vastly more important than what is truly desired and/or good for the consumer. Especially in industries that affect people’s health and wellbeing.
Hope this Wednesday morning rant doesn’t offend or bring anyone down. @GregTheEgg 's comment is so spot-on and touched a nerve with me this morning. Wish our leaders worldwide had more stones and were a little less greedy standing up for the consumer (speaking of the insurance, food, medical industries, monetary policy, etc.).
Yep that is definitely true. I personally usually just use low shelfs for bass boosting so its pretty easy to calculate that. But otherwise with peaks they may indeed overlap like that.
That one is one of the more confusing ones like Pyla mentioned, in cases where it isnt clear, just use the biggest boost as the preamp, in your case it is +10db so set -10db in preamp.
Not to mention brands like Samsung that mocked Apple for it, turned around and did the same and pretended their mockery ad never existed…shameless bastards…
They couldnt have timed it better since the first (iirc) airpod came out at the same announcement day.
Interwstingly -6.5dB should be enough. Going the safe road with rule of thumb of the preamp=negative of max gain setting is generally much quicker though
Which is app is this?
One thing i noticed is in initial peqdb Eq preamp was -6.9 and highest value was 13.8 at 214hz
Then i changed some freq refining the eq but after some time peace automatically changed preamp to -8.8 and peak was still 13.8 and after reducing more unnecessary peak which were not contributing anything to sound this is my current peq.
Your filters are not done very well (you can do the same with less filters) so you need to do some more calculations to get the preamp. To make it simpler imagine this. Just 2 filters:
Low shelf 80hz, +10db gain, q value 0.6
Low shelf 200hz, +2db gain, q value 0.6
= preamp would be needed to be set to -12db (10+2db)
Low shelf 80hz, +10db gain, q value 0.6
Low shelf 200hz, -2db gain, q value 0.6
= preamp would be needed to be set to -8db (10-2db)
Hmm, I thought having more filter means more precise tuning and i guess less filter can do samr job and easier understanding this stuff. But i dont understand these Peak filter, low self filter etc. What they do.
Preamp: -22.8 dB

Filter 4: ON PK Fc 300 Hz Gain -2.6 dB Q 0.500
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 500 Hz Gain -2.8 dB Q 0.100
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 1000 Hz Gain 3.8 dB Q 0.200
Filter 7: ON PK Fc 1500 Hz Gain -4.9 dB Q 1.000
Filter 8: ON PK Fc 3200 Hz Gain 7.6 dB Q 1.600

Filter 18: ON PK Fc 20000 Hz Gain 0.1 dB Q 1.000
download the preset so you don’t have to manually do it
Note that my modded EX800st (removed foam and metal cylinder in nozzle) is better than the 1000 but I have not done the same to the 1000 so I assume it would be better if done the same.
I might have to snag a pair
