Odd setup in the pics...

EQ's are meant to lower bands, not raise them. You lower the overwhelming bands, so the underwhelming bands come through.

I usually keep everything flat -- the way the sound engineer and producer wanted it to sound.

I agree with softjock. Graphic eqs cause more problems than they cure, most of the time. Of course we all know that Canute is the exception to the rule (wink wink).

I thought all eq's should be set up in the 'smiley face' config. No?

My EQ can actually sets itself. It is usually very close but it is sometimes to flat for my ear so I usually tweak it a bit after it does it's thing.

Mic for it.

Since this is software, it would need a framework to plug into. I did not see a list of compatible DJ apps on their website.

I have not fully checked into it as yet but I am sure it can be integrated.

My dog sh_ts all by her self -- but she doesn't always wipe...

IMHO, the plugin should be designed for the ouput stage -- DirectX in Windows. Thereby, you do not have to code plugin stuff into your software, which is a PITA. Just add it as a filter in your graph. If you don't what a graph is, it's fairly simple -- it shows you how Windows is routing the input to the output. It shows all the Codecs involved, and how they intermix with each other.

Waves plugins usually are app based, not OS based. Most recording systems use them,as do sound generation systems. DJ apps would be a new use.

My DJ program can use any VST plugin. I have a choice of all of these.

Not if you know how to use them and sadly most don't

The issue I see with software based plugins, are they are slow to react. Using it on the output stage through DirectX, allows hardware acceleration on your sound device. For example, I use an HRT Streamer II, which uses its own clock, and not the computer to clock the signals. It's an asynch device, and tells the computer when to send more data.

So, the latency in the software may be a couple hundred ms (depending on what else the OS and DJ software is doing at the moment), versus 10 ms on the output stage, and even less on a hardware device.
