Chapter 3 Equalizer 31
Use the Scales to the left and right of the EQ display, to change the vertical scale of the
EQ and analyzer curves.
To increase the resolution of the EQ Gain parameter (dB Warp) in the most interesting
area around the zero line, click-hold in the green dB Scale on the left side of the
graphic display, and move the mouse up. Moving the mouse down, will decrease the
parameter value. The overall range is always ±30, but small values will be easier to
recognize.
As soon as the Analyzer is activated, you can change the Analyzer Top parameter, which
alters the scaling of the FFT analyzer, on the right side of the graphic display. The visible
area represents a dynamic range of 60 dB, but by click-holding and vertically dragging,
you can adjust the maximum value between +20 dB and −40 dB. The Analyzer display
is always dB-linear.
Two additional Analyzer parameters are available via the 001/100 view. Analyzer Mode
allows you to switch between Peak and RMS. Analyzer Decay allows you to adjust the
decay rate (in dB per second) of the Analyzer curve (peak decay in Peak mode or an
averaged decay in RMS mode)
Note: The FFT analyzer needs additional CPU resources. In fact, resource consumption
increases significantly at higher resolutions! We recommend that you disable the
Analyzer or close the Channel EQ window after setting the desired EQ parameters. This
will free up CPU resources for other tasks.
Using the Channel EQ as the Default EQ
The Channel EQ replaces the Track EQ of older Logic versions. It is inserted into the first
available insert slot by double-clicking the EQ area on the upper portion of mixer
channel strips. This area will change to a thumbnail view of the Channel EQ display. The
thumbnails provide an overview of the EQ settings used in each individual channel.
