I am trying to get the best "Visual Eq" possible.  I am looking to separate out a song into the specific parts (lows, highs) etc.  Ideally this would allow me to separate (as much as possible) kick drums from hi-hats and bass guitar from higher synths.  I am mainly interested in the numerical data, but having a visual indication would be great to.  I attached what I have, something that is pretty close, but I am not sure if I have spaced my frequencies enough. Any other input would be appreciated. Thanks

your frequency bands are jumbled up quite a bit. I'd start by sorting that out.

I would actually jump straight to fffb~ which lets you feed in lists. I like lists in Max for a lot of things, but mainly it lets me work with multisliders in a neat way, as the fffb~ helpfile shows.

fffb~ is a very naive approach but for a GEQ with 31 or more bands it will still be surprisingly close to how a cheap hardware sounds.

a "better" design might be: bandpasses based on biquad~, with butterworth topology from filterdesign~, must use 24 db because of the phase, then
