Parametric mode can not set bands freq lower than 20

[Ali Rahal]

Hi 

The parametric mode is awesome, but while on the normal mode we can use frequencies starting from 5, on the parametric mode the lowest value is 20... it should be set to 5 as well.

Thanks

I.... don't think you can hear <20Hz frequencies. Why would you want to equalize the frequencies you can't even hear?

@John Titor To be fair, the same applies to sounds much above 20kHz (unless you are a dog) but people still want high-res sampling rates above 44kHz.

I think the question was perhaps more theoretical though - if you can equalize frequencies at multiple points below 20Hz in Graphic mode, why not in Parametric mode too? Maybe it has to do with the Q width?

Yes equalizing 20hz frequency also impacts nearby bands unless the bandwidth is very low. But I don't think there's a point of equalizing those frequencies, they are mostly white noise and you can't even hear below 20Hz 🤭

Indeed the equalizer's bands impact other near by frequencies... on the graphical mode when using 32 bands starting with 5Hz there are 6 bands bellow 20Hz and I personally hear a big difference when tuning those 6 bands. 

Not that I can not really reproduce my config bellow 20Hz on the parametric, but a similar bands frequencies config on parametric mode would be helpful.

All the great bass are there 😜 (I know my treble config look contradictory but it works for me that way)
