Members varialbender Posted October 3, 2005 Members Share Posted October 3, 2005 In filtering, if I'm not mixing anything up, it's the width of the boost at a certain frequency with a certain height. Edit: mixed up height and width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Montag Posted October 3, 2005 Members Share Posted October 3, 2005 how wide or narrow the boost on a certain frequency is, as far as i understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ginnboonmiller Posted October 3, 2005 Members Share Posted October 3, 2005 Oh, you want a real answer. I always think of the graphs they showed us in college. On a filter, there's usually a little lump in the frequency graph right before the roll-off. The lump is Q. High-Q means a big lump. And generally, the bigger the lump, the more likely Bootsy Collins is interested in the sound it makes.My understanding of the physics and stuff behind this is a little deeper than this (not much), but that's what it means to me.EDIT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrblackbat Posted October 3, 2005 Members Share Posted October 3, 2005 Q stnads for quality, at least that's what I was always told. I first came across it in parametric eq rather than filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
