Dynamic EQ
Ozone’s Dynamic EQ module works similarly to a regular EQ, but allows you to set a compression
threshold; when a specified frequency range passes over that threshold, it is reduced or boosted.
This processor can be very useful in toning down any specific frequencies in your mix that are too
loud, with a degree of precision not possible with a normal EQ.
The circles on the display mark each of the six nodes for the dynamic Equalizer. You can set the
frequency, gain, and bandwidth (Q) for each of the six nodes, and then apply an individual level of
compression to each of the six selected frequencies.
Analog/Digital
Click on the Analog or Digital labels to select which type of processing you wish to use for the
Dynamic EQ module. The analog algorithm is a minimum-phase FIR filter, which is useful in most
circumstances. The digital algorithm is a linear-phase IIR filter, which retains the phase of the original
signal, but uses more CPU.
Filter Type
Click the label to select the type of filter you wish to use for the currently selected band. The filter
choices are the same as the bell shapes in the regular EQ module, with the addition of a Baxandall
shelf shapes.
Adjustment for Frequency/Gain
You can adjust an EQ band by clicking on a node and dragging it horizontally to change the frequency,
and vertically to change the gain of the band.
Adjustment for Q/Bandwidth
You can adjust the Q or bandwidth of any band by dragging the “handles” on the side of the node.
If you have a wheel mouse, you can use the mouse wheel to widen/narrow a selected band while
hovering over the node.
