Okay, I've messed with it some more, and I see the problem.

In order for it to do what I want it to do, the Q has to change with distance from 0db. Hence the need for the auto-q feature.

The problem is that the auto-q feature isn't suiting my tastes well. To have it be only at 5 q when you've got -20db of gain, doesn't seem to be enough for the 10-band EQ. I haven't tried the 5-band EQ, maybe it's correct for that one.

It's all a question of tweaking it to what you need.

So can someone translate into english the explanation of the formula for Q given above?
