MAutoEqualizer "Invaid Source Data" When Trying To Equalize2010-11-23T11:26:06+00:00i'm testing the demo of MAutoEqualizer. just downloaded it a few minutes ago... but i can't get it to work. it keeps telling me my source data is invalid. at first i thought that it was because the source file was 8-bit, so i changed it to 16-bit. still no success. then i thought maybe the sampling rate of the source was too low (8363Hz) so i resampled to 44.1KHz. still the same problem.
not a positive experience with the demo, so far.

Vojtech is on vacation for a week or so. So you shouldn't be getting an answer from him (if he is a good vacation/holiday boy) but someone else here may know the answer for you.
If you can, be patient for a week.
Usually, V would have an answer for you before you finished typing your post
Anyway this happens when the plugin thinks there is just no way to reach the desired response. In your case I actually think it is because of the sampling rate. I cannot check right now, but mu guess is, that there is literally nothing above 4k, but you ordered the plugin to have something there, which is just impossible. The trouble is even if you resample, there is still nothing above 4k. It could be improved to handle this case I guess, but it's very atypical and I'm a little afraid it could cause problems in normal cases.
Anyway all you need to do right now is to supply some high-frequency content, so you can try just using a mild saturator (just check the free MLimiter for example). Though I'm afraid it wouldn't solve it fully, unless your target will also be that limited (it will create many bands on higher frequencies).
I think there's another way though - check the Settings in the autoeq panel. There is a frequency range to be considered, so I think if you set the highest frequency to 4k, it could work fine.
ok, thanks for the explanation. that makes sense to me.
i respectfully suggest modifying the error message so that it tells the user more about the problem. an error message that explained this situation would have saved you time answering my post (& saved me from posting it)
