Around this frequency, thesound will be boosted or attenuated according to the Gain setting.Determines the width of the frequency band around the center frequencyto be affected. The narrower the frequency band, the more drastic theeffect of the boost or attenuation.❐Please note that high Gain values may give rise to distortion. Check thechannel level meters and compensate with the channel volume faders.4. Close the EQ window by clicking on its close box.In the VST Channel Mixer window, the EQ button indicator for the audio channel willnow be lit, which means EQ is applied to that channel.Applying EffectsThere are two basic types of effects in Cubasis VST; insert effects(applied separately to each channel, by using the channel inserts inthe VST Channel Mixer) and send effects (applied separately to eachchannel by using the effect sends in the VST Channel Mixer).Typical uses for insert effects would be distortion, filters, auto pannersor any effect that you want to send a whole channel through. Typicalsend effects would be reverb, delay, chorus or anything that you wantto apply in different amounts to the different audio channels (see alsothe note about stereo effects on page 205).• The following pages describe the general procedures for applying andmaking settings for effects. The included effects are described on page227.CUBASIS VST13 – 202 Mixing
