If you watch this video for about 30 seconds, you'll see an EQ matched curve that looks like the MFreeformEqualizer plugin. Instead of adjusting a few bands, it seems to adjust every single difference between the two EQ curves. Is it possible for Melda to create an EQ matching feature like this in their Freeform plugin? If you listen to the tone he matched, it really does sound the same, so I'm thinking this must be a better way to EQ match, no?

This is already here. Just open MFreeformEQ and look at the bottom of the plugin, the auto matching options are there. It works really well.

Yea, I see that, amazing. But if you look in the video, they remove all the smoothness from the curve and it sounds great. When I remove all the smoothness from the Melda plugin it sounds messed up. I think this may have something to do with phase issues? If I set smoothness to around 2% it sounds great, but is it possible to set it to 0% smoothness and still have it sound great like the video I linked to?

Have you tried the various quality modes?

Yea, even on extreme, it still sounds better with 1% or 2% smoothness. With 0%, it sounds sort of muffled.

Well is it not just ok to use it with 2%? does the plugin in the video sound better? Maybe download a demo and do a comparison.

Use minimal phase, +24dB, ~1% smoothness, always set on extreme. Analyser settings also effect the analysis.
I use MFreeforEqualizer all the time, recreating identical frequency responses and everything.

Have you put another Freeform plugin after the first one to check if the new blue target curve matches the red curve? Because I have done this and the blue never matches the red. Isn't it supposed to with the Freeform Eq match since it's not limited by bands?

And I have weird anomalies. Check out this pic. What is going on?

Yes, all the time. Update to the new version, there are new features that I mentioned in the previous post that you must use. Your version is half a year old, the plugin has been changed, bugs fixed etc.

Updating didn't do anything. I started from scratch and same thing. In this pic the 2nd plugin is after the first one to show what the new blue curve looks like after the freeform plugin and you can see it still doesn't match the red curve like I thought it's supposed to. Pone can you take a screencap and show me an example of where you changed the blue curve to match the red curve? I honestly don't believe it.

You can upload a sound file of your source and target and I'll test it. The bump in the high range is probably do to different noise levels between your source and target.

You said you've done this before. Show me where you made the blue curve identical to the red one or shut up, because I know you're lying. You can't mess this up, all you do is hit a button. If it made the blue and red lines the same it would work for me, but it doesn't.

Well, I mean - he did basically call me a moron. How can you possibly mess this up? You can't. Not even an idiot can mess this up. So he's lying if he says he made the curves match exactly. That's why he won't post pics like I did.

Where is the wizard of Melda? We need him to address this issue.
