Using the Audio EQ Tool

• The second band is the parametric midrange. This band has two bandwidth values, 1/4
octave and 2 octaves. These values control the width of the curve. For more information, see
“Audio EQ Examples” on page 846.
• The third band, the high shelf, has four turnover points (6 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz, and 15 kHz).
The high shelf affects all frequencies from the high shelf turnover point to 20 kHz.
The horizontal center line of the graph is 0 (zero). As you move the curve below the zero line, the
corresponding frequencies are de-emphasized. Above the zero line, the corresponding
frequencies are emphasized. The parametric midrange allows a smooth transition from
de-emphasized frequencies to emphasized frequencies.
The In button lets you turn off an individual EQ effect (the currently selected effect). The button
is yellow when the EQ effect is on (inline) and gray when the EQ effect is off.
The Ignore EQ option turns off all EQ effects for the sequence. Rendered EQ effects still play
correctly.
When you apply Audio EQ effects, consider the following:
• Apply Audio EQ to entire segments only. You cannot isolate portions of a segment for an
Audio EQ effect by using In to Out points. You must use add edits (match frames) to mark
off a smaller segment.
• Use In to Out points to select a range of complete segments for applying an Audio EQ effect.
Segments that fall within the marks, either in part or whole, have the effect applied to them.
