EQ Display Options
Ozone’s EQ module contains three dierent user interface modes for working with the EQ; each mode
oers a dierent way of interacting with the module and what parameters you can control.
The three modes work as follows:
• Spectrum View
• Main View
• All Bands View
To view a given display type, click on its icon on the left side of the display.
Spectrum View
This view oers a simple overview of all eight bands of EQ, allowing you to work with key parameters
of all eight bands at the same time, including frequency, gain, bandwidth (Q), and individual band
bypass.
The node circles on the EQ display mark each of the eight EQ bands. You can adjust an EQ band by
clicking on a node and dragging the crosshairs:
• Horizontally to change the frequency of the band.
• Vertically to change the gain of the band.
Move the mouse over the “handles” on each side of the band to adjust the bandwidth (Q) of the EQ
band, by dragging with the mouse and widening the band.
You can also use your mouse or trackpad’s scroll action to widen/narrow a selected band.
As you adjust the nodes you will see multiple EQ curves. The white curve is the composite of all EQ
bands while the selected band shows as a thin line in the band’s specific color.
Main View
In this view, you select an individual band to adjust by selecting that band’s tab in the interface
window; the rest of the interface then displays a deeper set of parameters to adjust for that band
including the parameters above, but also the specific filter type, as well as the matching function. This
view contains the following controls:
Analog/Digital
Click on the Analog or Digital labels to select which type of EQ algorithm you wish to use for the
currently selected band. The Analog choice emulates classic analog EQ sounds with added coloring,
while the Digital choice used more precise, clinical-sounding EQ models.
