Studio EQ

With the four frequency bands, you can shape the tone color, to create a brighter or darker sound, for example. The two mid-range bands act as peak filters, and the low and high bands act as shelving filters. All bands are fully parametric with adjustable gain, frequency, and Q factor. Each frequency band offers the following controls:

Click one of the numbered buttons to show the settings for the corresponding frequency band. The two mid-range bands act as peak filters, and the low and high bands act as shelving filters. Each frequency band offers the following controls:

On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the corresponding frequency band.

Gain

Sets the amount of cut or boost for the corresponding band.

Freq

Sets the frequency that is cut or boosted with the Gain parameter.

Q (Quality)

Adjusts the bandwidth of the mid-range peak filters from wide to narrow. By increasing the Q value on the low and high shelving filters, you can add a dip to their shape.

• To adjust the Gain and Freq parameters simultaneously, drag the points in the EQ curve display.

The buttons to the left and the right of the numbered buttons allow you to show the settings for the low-cut and the high-cut filter, respectively. For these filters, the following parameters are available:

Low-Cut On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the low-cut filter.

High-Cut On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the high-cut filter.

Slope

Sets the slope for the filter. You can choose from 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 dB per octave.

Freq

Sets the frequency for the filter.
