> The ability to preview EQ changes while the audio is playing back is impresssive

Comments like this surprise me, but probably because the lightest weight thing I'll spin up for audio work is Reaper.

The idea of anything but online rendering for user controlled DSP wouldn't cross my mind - it always aggravates me when I have to do it (there's a few older tools I use where it's the only way to do things like time/pitch edits).

Very specifically you want a semilog plot (use center bin frequency, not edge of the bin to avoid the 0 problem) or if you're really fancy, constant-Q/mel/bark scales. Grid should be Frequency = [(1:9)e(1:3),10e3 20e3], Magnitude = [-96:6:0].

Very helpful if you use an exponential average on the bins for meter ballistics.
