EQ b00st causes ZERo volume?

[Narler]

'Owdy,

Just a question,

If the EQ is turned OFF, volume is set to FULL, playback is fine.

If I now turn the EQ on, but have the Boost at 50%, The playback volume is now at 50% (but volume slider is still at 100%) ?

I would have thought as the name suggests, that "Boost" Worked above and beyond the Volume. So a Boost setting of say 50% meant 50% more boost in the current volume output level?.. not cut volume by half?.

And of course a boost of 0% with the EQ on, means NO output ?

So if I set All EQ sliders to Full, and the boost to 50% it's about the same as having the EQ off ?

There seems no benefit in having the boost, in effect it's just a volume adjustment on the EQ screen?.

You are finding out all my secrets today

The volume boost is more a volume anti-boost, really its only use is to scale the sound down before it goes into the equalizer.

hehehe,

When i first noticed this, it was testing my new skin, and I thought, Oh sh*t I've accidently assigned Volume to the Boost slider.

So I load Skin designer but what's this: it said Boost was actually assigned to Boost, I thought. Oh sh*t now it's Lying to me. Or is it my eyes that are buggered :.)

The boost didn't work like that in the old eq code though did it?.. not that I guess it really matters.
