The Analyzer allows you to visually compare the frequency spectrum of the source file and
the resulting curve, making it easier to make manual corrections at specific points within
the spectrum.
Note: Although MatchEQ acoustically matches the frequency curve of two audio signals, it
does not match any dynamic differences between the two signals.
See the Use MainStage MatchEQ, MainStage MatchEQparameters, and Edit the
MainStage MatchEQ filter curve sections.
