Question about FMOD_DSP_PARAMEQ_GAIN's value

FMOD Engine
1

According to this, FMOD_DSP_PARAMEQ_GAIN’s range is -30~30 and the default value is 0.
And it also says :
“Parametric EQ is a single band peaking EQ filter that attenuates or amplifies a selected frequency and its neighbouring frequencies.
When a frequency has its gain set to 1.0, the sound will be unaffected and represents the original signal exactly.”

To me, setting to 0 makes more sense for the original signal.
Is it a typo or am I just wrong?
Also wondering if it’s the same for FMOD_DSP_TYPE_MULTIBAND_EQ.

I know legacy EQs including FMOD_DSP_PARAMEQ are deprecated so I’m actually working with FMOD_DSP_TYPE_MULTIBAND_EQ,
but was reading through the document for more information and saw that sentence, which confused me.

It’s a typo. That line should say “When a frequency has its gain set to 0, the sound will be unaffected and represents the original signal exactly.”

Thanks for the bug report! We’ll fix this error in our documentation in an upcoming version of our documentation.
