Frequency Cursors

[Admin M@]

I've worked on Axe-Edit for a looooooong time.
The "Frequency Cursors" are, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest tools since the bread slicer.
@FractalAudio and @Michael Pickens have my sincere public thanks.

+1. To know where you are — that is truly a gift.

I'm pretty sure that came from a recent wish

What are frequency cursors?

 

[Admin M@]

When you move the mouse in one of the onscreen graphs, the frequency at that cursor position is displayed in the upper left.]
(Pink highlights here are my emphases.)

Oh that's too cool!

I'd love to see these pop up when you edit the frequency knobs in any EQs with this graph.

It would be even better if the frequency readout would follow right next to the curser instead of being all the way to the left.

Would it actually? I hate reading moving text.

 

[notalemming]

Would it actually?

For me & maybe others, yes. Maybe a preference to choose where the readout displays.

Maybe just improve your peripheral vision?

My peripheral vision is actually quite good.

Very handy!
A useful second bit of info would be the dB value at that frequency....

Now if we could change a frequency with the mouse....

Ooh, like the Fabfilter eq … drag up or down to change gain, drag left or right to sweep frequency and scroll wheel to change Q.
I think that’s quite a bit of effort though. Makes sense for an eq plugin that is constantly used while mixing vs a set and forget eq on a preset.
