I feel the following features are needed in equalizer:
> Ability to add/remove bands
> Ability to change what each band does (Band? HPF? LPF? Low shelf? High shelf? notch- actually, the HPF/LPF/notch options are useless, but being able to change a band's function to low shelf, or from low shelf to band, etc, seems powerful: that way if one isn't already using the LPF or HPF, they can be converted into band instead of adding more)
> more powerful volume control for controlling things below -18 dB (ie longer scale of control).
Most of these features reaEQ already fulfils, but a native alternative (with a visual interface) would be greatly appreciated.
