As a basic proof of concept, I tried to use a single bell band:
- I added two instances of TotalEQ to my FX inserts:
- The first one is the emphasis EQ, renamed to Emph
- The second one is the de-emphasis EQ, renamed to Deemph
- I linked the PH. INV., LINK IO & EQ. LOUD (and Reaper's own Bypass) controls of Deemph to the same controls of Emph - all work like a charm
- I created a single bell band in Emph at 100Hz (roughly, as precisely as my mouse pointing allowed), and pestered the gain control
- I created a single bell band at around 100Hz in Deemph as well (both were red dots if that matters), and pestered the gain control as well
- I then tried to link the last touched parameter of Deemph (i.e. the only EQ band's gain control) as usual to Emph's Eq 0 Gain control
I then tried to map Deemph's EQ gain to one of Emph's other Eq X Gain bands, but did not come to a deterministic conclusion which one to choose.
Is there a clear mapping rule for these?
My goal would be to map for each band their type, Q and frequency from Emph to Deemph, and also map, but invert the gain control (for bells and shelfs e.g. a 6 dB boost in Emph should result in a 6 dB cut in Deemph).
All recommendations are welcome (ideally I would like to understand how this should be done, but if someone happens to have an RfxChain file for this already, feel free to share as well)! Thanks in advance!
