Edit the MainStage MatchEQ filter curve
You can edit the filter curve in the EQ Curve display by adjusting the various points shown
in each band. As you drag a point, the current value is shown, allowing precise changes.
Adjust MatchEQcurve values
In MainStage, do any of the following:
• Drag horizontally to shift the peak frequency for the band (over the entire spectrum).
• Drag vertically to adjust the gain of the band.
• Hold down Shift, then drag vertically to adjust the QFactor.
• While clicking, press Option to reset the gain to 0dB.
• Press Option to reset all changes you have made to the curve.
Change the MatchEQ scale range
The colors and modes of thedB scales on the left and right of the display are automatically
adapted to the active function. If the Analyzer is active, the left scale displays the average
spectrum in the signal, while the right scale serves as a reference for the peak values of
the Analyzer. A dynamic range of 60dB is shown by default. If this is not precise enough
for your edits, you can increase the range.
• In MainStage, drag either scale to set values of up to +20dB and −100dB.
Change MatchEQ gain with the scales
• In MainStage, drag either scale to adjust the overall gain of the filter curve from −30 to
+30dB.
The left scale—and the right, if the Analyzer is inactive—shows thedB values for the
filter curve.
MainStage Single-Band EQ
Single-Band EQ can operate in several modes. When you choose an EQ type with the
EQ Mode buttons, the controls shown below the buttons update to provide functions
appropriate to the EQ type.
