62 Chapter 4 Equalizers Channel EQ The Channel EQ is a highly versatile multiband EQ. It provides eight frequency bands, including lowpass and highpass filters, low and high shelving filters, and four flexible parametric bands. It also features an integrated Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Analyzer that you can use to view the frequency curve of the audio you want to modify, allowing you to see which parts of the frequency spectrum may need adjustment. You can use the Channel EQ to shape the sound of individual tracks or audio files, or for tone-shaping on an overall project mix. The Analyzer and graphical controls make it easy to view and change the audio signal in real time. Tip: The parameters of the Channel EQ and Linear Phase EQ are identical, enabling you to freely copy settings between them. Channel EQ Parameters The left side of the Channel EQ window features the Gain and Analyzer controls. The central area of the window includes the graphical display and parameters for shaping each EQ band. Channel EQ Gain and Analyzer Controls • Master Gain slider and field: Sets the overall output level of the signal. Use it after boosting or cutting individual frequency bands. • Analyzer button: Turns the Analyzer on or off. • Pre/Post EQ button: Determines whether the Analyzer shows the frequency curve before or after EQ is applied, when Analyzer mode is active. • Resolution pop-up menu: Sets the sample resolution for the Analyzer, with the following menu items: low (1024 points), medium (2048 points), and high (4096 points).
Channel EQ Graphical Display Section • Band On/Off buttons: Click to turn the corresponding band on or off. Each button icon indicates the filter type: Band 1 is a highpass filter. Band 2 is a low shelving filter. Bands 3 through 6 are parametric bell filters. Band 7 is a high shelving filter. Band 8 is a lowpass filter. • Graphical display: Shows the current curve of each EQ band. • Drag horizontally in the section of the display that encompasses each band to adjust the frequency of the band. • Drag vertically in the section of the display that encompasses each band to adjust the gain of each band (except bands 1 and 8). The display reflects your changes immediately. • Drag the pivot point in each band to adjust the Q factor. Q is shown beside the pointer when it is moved over a pivot point. Channel EQ Parameter Section • Frequency fields: Adjust the frequency of each band. • Gain/Slope fields: Set the amount of gain for each band. For bands 1 and 8, this changes the slope of the filter. • Q fields: Adjust the Q factor or resonance for each band—the range of frequencies around the center frequency that are affected. Note: The Q parameter of band 1 and band 8 has no effect when the slope is set to 6 dB/Oct. When the Q parameter is set to an extremely high value, such as 100, these filters affect only a very narrow frequency band and can be used as notch filters. • Link button: Activates Gain-Q coupling, which automatically adjusts the Q (bandwidth) when you raise or lower the gain on any EQ band, to preserve the perceived bandwidth of the bell curve. Using the Channel EQ The way you use the Channel EQ is obviously dependent on the audio material and what you intend to do with it, but a useful workflow for many situations is as follows: set the Channel EQ to a flat response (no frequencies boosted or cut), turn on the Analyzer, and play the audio signal. Keep an eye on the graphical display to see which parts of the frequency spectrum have frequent peaks and which parts of the spectrum stay at a low level. Pay particular attention to sections where the signal distorts or clips. Use the graphical display or parameter controls to adjust the frequency bands as desired. Chapter 4 Equalizers 63
