Hello everyone! I just slaved away at making this in-depth tutorial on how to use Peace APO / Equalizer to change EQ settings. Basically its how to make HD8XX use the Oratory EQ Profile.
I have it on my website as well, there is where you will find tutorial pictures, links to the preset itself along with custom presets I made in a 115kb zip, that I will provide here. Please don't take my post down just because I link to it, I worked hard on this.
The website is: http://moco.net the presets with an included instructions READ ME is: https://moco.net/mnet/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/MocoPeaceAPOPresets.zip
Let's get started!
----
Oratory HD8XX Settings
With Peace APO open do the following:
Click on the RED MINUS/NEGATIVE SIGN until there are 10 BANDS.
- Go into Settings, Click on the ‘Settings’ button near the far bottom right. Click on the ‘Sizes and Amounts Settings’ tab up top, I highlighted the Snap to dB gain area, changed this to 0.1, and clicked the ‘Save’ button at the bottom left to bring you back into the main Peace APO interface screen.
#1. Up top near Pre Amplifyng type the actual negative/minus sign on your keyboard and the numbers 7.4. Like this: -7.4
#2. Look to the bottom near Gain Values, Type: 5.5
#3. Near Quality (Q) Type: 0.71
#4. Click on the small box picture of a wave graph and change it to ‘Low Shelf Filter Q as slope Control’ it should be a red line/ramp.
The following are straight numbers to plug into your program.
That’s it! Now I’ll simplify it just a little more and have you on your way to inputting these numbers in no time.
