313 Live Audio Effect Reference
Context Menu Options
Several of EQ Eight’s controls are only available via the [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac)
context menu. These include:
•Oversampling - enabling this option causes EQ Eight to internally process two times the
current sample rate, which allows for smoother filter behavior when adjusting high fre-
quencies. There is a slight increase in CPU usage with Oversampling enabled.
•Shelf Scaling Legacy Mode - As of Live 9, the shape of EQ Eight’s shelf filters has been
improved. Live Sets that use EQ Eight and which were made prior to Live 9 may sound
slightly different. To ensure that older Sets sound exactly the same, the Shelf Scaling Leg-
acy Mode option will be enabled by default when loading an old Set that uses EQ Eight.
You can disable this via a [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu entry in EQ
Eight’s title bar.
Note: as of Live 9, the “Hi-Quality” [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu option
has been removed. EQ Eight now always operates in this mode.

The EQ Three Effect.
If you have ever used a good DJ mixer you will know what this is: An EQ that allows you to ad-
just the level of low, mid and high frequencies independently.
