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).
