The Alt-Solo Feature
If you hold down the Alt key and click on the spectrum, you have an "audio mag-
nifying glass" that lets you hear only the frequencies that are under the mouse
cursor, without affecting your actual EQ settings. This is useful for pinpointing
the location of a frequency in the mix without changing your actual EQ bands.๎
You can set the default bandwidth of this filter in the Options screen under "Alt-
Solo Filter Q" or simply use your mouse's scroll wheel. Once you've pinpointed
a particular frequency using the Alt-Solo feature, double-click that area to activ-
ate a new node in that exact location.
Additional Tips using Nectar's Paragraphic EQ
1. The Paragraphic EQ's scales are freely zoomable and scrollable, allowing
you to focus on a specific frequency and dynamic range.๎ While hovering over
the dB meter on the right of the spectrum, you may use your mouse wheel to
zoom in on a more focused dynamic range, then click and drag to scroll the dB
scales.๎ Additionally, while hovering over the frequency scales at the bottom of
the spectrum, you may use your mouse wheel to zoom in on a particular fre-
quency then click and drag to scroll the scales.
