Using the Audio EQ Tool
838
When the Avid editing application splits a stereo track to two mono tracks, it changes some
audio properties of the track:
• Removes stereo track effects such as RTAS plug-in effects.
• Converts stereo AudioSuite plug-in effects to mono effects.
• Applies any existing volume automation to the resulting mono tracks.
• Applies any existing pan automation to the resulting mono tracks, panning odd-numbered
tracks to the left and even-numbered tracks to the right.
• Clears rendered effects. If you have effects on audio segments on stereo tracks, you need to
render them after splitting the tracks to mono.
When you split all tracks in a sequent to mono, the Avid editing application automatically
duplicates your original sequence and saves a copy to your bin before splitting multichannel
tracks to mono.
To split a multichannel audio track to mono, do the following:
t Right-click the multichannel track you want to split, and select Split Track to Mono.
t Right-click a multichannel clip in a bin that you want to split, and select Split Track to
Mono.
The multichannel track splits into mono tracks, with the additional mono tracks added below
the original multichannel track. A copy of your original sequence is saved to your bin as
[sequence_name].Copy.[number].
To split all multichannel audio tracks in the Timeline to mono, do one of the following:
t Right-click in the Timeline, and select Split All Tracks to Mono.
t Select Clip > Split All Tracks to Mono.
All multichannel tracks in the Timeline split into separate mono tracks, with the new mono
tracks added below each original multichannel track. A copy of your original sequence is
saved to your bin as [sequence_name].Copy.[number].
Using the Audio EQ Tool
The Audio Equalization (EQ) tool supports real-time, segment-based frequency equalization on
individual clips, which lets you adjust the high, low, and midrange frequency ranges of an audio
clip. You can also save a variety of audio EQ effects and apply them in different circumstances.
To access the Audio EQ tool, do one of the following:
t Select Tools > Audio EQ.
