Ok so I kind of view this as being at the end of that 6db line which ends up as zero dB cut wherever it's cut spectrum ends

Ok so if an octave is non linear in terms of frequency then the taper is more like some curve than a straight line

Hi tascam definitive answer by email : " The eq is shelving with a tapered characteristic of 6db / octave " Though I've no idea what sort of frequency range is represented by an octave

I'm wondering if another simple way of looking at it is to consider what an old radio speaker limitation in frequency response is and cut that area out with EQ to get the general effect

It's not fixed perception. if I work something alot at the end I can think this is really pretty decent . Then that veneer wears off after a week or so and I hear faults . Every now and then I ask someone else but that's even worse . If they said it's good id think they were lying to be polite...

Seems ok . Basically where I'm cutting seems to kill the ear wasp type territory . Beyond that better legato and performance will drag it up a bit more. Everything I do ends up sounding kind of old and washed out which I don't really mind provided there's nothing fatiguing harsh sounding

Excellent . Nice . So Basically tascam have likely then programmed predesignated slopes in both shelves . A kind of simple plug and play solution set the cuts and thats it . They've been making standalone multitracks over 40 years so they probably hit it about right . Many thanks . Pretty much...

Does anyone have this and the spitfire chamber essentials that can speak of the legato specifically . A comparison

Ultimately by modern recording standards it's a pretty basic machine . As such my instinct is that tascam won't really know

They likely will though they may not have any data on the specifics of the extent of range of frequency cut beyond a target point or by how much

Ok so shelf EQ is probable. I've emailed tascam directly to see if they know what their machine is doing more specifically around the targeted EQ value . However these were launched in 2013 so maybe they don't know

Maybe it doesn't matter .everything round there in strings sounds like ear wasp to me so the more cut the better

Does the cut in this machine taper or maintain the 10db

Ok hold on so your saying the Db value is EQUAL in cutting amount across the range . Ie high shelf 1.7khz cut at 10db is also 10db up to the range of say 2khz. Note there's only one dB value you can select in this machine for either band I which case its a square cut not a triangle ?

If the high band cuts above and the low band cuts below there has to be an unaffected gap unless the two values coincide

No you've lost me again. if the high starts at 1.7 it cuts by the amount chosen and tapers above therefore below 1.7 is unaffected unless you match it in the low band

So to interpret what I've done there via a hideous amount of trial and error .in effect has been to hear bad sound in that region and target it twice via the high and low shelf eq without actually understanding the principle of eq in this machine

Yes but that's the idea I guess a kind of triangle that falls off the cliff at the chosen value then another triangle which either joins it or cuts in some other place with a non equed bit in the middle

That

So you could view a shelf EQ as a right angle triangle which if butted together at the same frequency gives you a pyramid cut type effect
