Hello, I am new EQ software and I wonder if there is a setting or settings in FxSound equivalent to the Q-Factor. Is there a way to achieve the same result? Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi Ludwvin,  
Sorry to disappoint, there are no Q controls or any controls related to the Q factor in FxSound, only frequency controls below each band.  
What is known, is that the Q value is 1.52743447 , and that the Bass Boost Effect works at 62,5 Hz (which I discovered by opening a Preset .fac file in WordPad).  
If you’re looking for pinpoint precision, [EqualizerApo](https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/) is probably the most advanced free equalizer tool out there, supporting infinite bands and unlimited customization options, and should be compatible with FxSound on a capable system.

Thank you @doolhoofd, there is no worry. I was just wondering if there was a way. I am no expert, and I am enjoying the different presets of FxSound. I plan to start playing around a bit with the settings.
