Quick jump to Graphical EQ settings

[seamoon]

 I use it time to time but reaching there is a bit tiring. Quick jump to Graphical EQ settings would be very time saving.

Get the setting you want, and save it. 
If you switch it up a lot, (like if you use different headphones) then save a setting for each one....easy as pie.

No, I mean every time go Settings - Sound ettings - EQ Settings is a long way and need a shortcut to reach there.

Which is why he was suggesting loading your settings with a .cfg instead...

I didn't mean loading different Eq settings. Because what I suggest is quick reach to Graphical EQ settings.

Press select - Settings - Sound Settings - Graphical EQ settings

Is a long way and I suggest quick jump there.

[St.] is suggesting that if you're changing EQ settings particularly often, the best way to do it quickly is to load presets.

That would be pretty much useless if what he/she wants to do is, say, to adjust one an EQ filter one or two dB steps on the current EQ settings, according to the song.
Plus, the suggested route isn't really that much shorter (press select>settings>manage settings>browse .cfg files  versus

Press select - Settings - Sound Settings - Graphical EQ settings

Who suggested a route?

You?

Certainly not I.

You seem to be forgetting that a .cfg can be launched from anywhere in the file browser.

you're right about the .cfg launching... still (in many cases) useless. My point is, it's true that accessing graphic EQ may be long in many cases, and maybe it shouldn't. Real equalizers, as opposed to this virtual one, can be quickly adjusted, it's not complicated.

If you really find it necessary to tinker with your EQ for each and every track (though I really can't think of why one should need to), or saving one or two key presses makes such a huge difference then assign the low/high shelf filters to the top/bottom and left/right quickscreen items.

Also, the only thing being done differently between Roxbox and a "real EQ" is the way the controls are presented.

The only "virtual" thing about the Rockbox EQ is the UI, which I'm sure you will agree is a lot more convenient than having to have physical controls for such a purpose on a portable media player.

If the "downside" to that is that I have to navigate to a menu entry as opposed to having ~20 buttons on my DAP I'll take the downside any day.

Your songs' levels should be right in the file. You should adjust the EQ based on the speakers/headphones attached, rather than tweaking it per song as you play. This isn't ideal for battery life or user experience.

If you're needing to change them constantly, fix the songs so that you don't need to. 0 key presses is the minimum possible, and can actually be attained.

supply patch, or no.....

the rest of the debate isnt needed.
