That wraps up the ALL portion of channel editing meaning we’re on to the SELECTED portion
of channel editing. As a reminder, SELECTED channel editing allows adjustment of the selected
group of parameters for the SELECTED channel. Let’s take a look...
• EQ Button
This button selects and displays the EQ parameters of the selected channel for editing. There is a plethora
of EQ-related information detailed in the Master Fader Reference Guide. All of the major EQ-related
parameters may be accessed and changed via DC16. This includes gain, frequency and Q (including
shelf / bell selection) and a high-pass lter (HPF). Furthermore, you’re able to select between mixing
with (clean, surgical, precise) modern EQ or (classic sounding and looking) vintage EQ.
Please keep in mind that you can really upset things with too much EQ. Each EQ band has
a lot of boost and cut because that is needed on occasion. But if the EQ is maxed on every
channel, the mix turns to mush. Equalize subtly, using cut, as well as boost. If you nd
yourself repeatedly using a lot of boost or cut, consider altering the sound source, such
as placing a mic dierently, trying a dierent kind of mic, a dierent vocalist, changing
the strings, gargling, or all of the above.
The EQ parameters may then be changed by rotating and/or pushing the encoders below the channel
displays. A visual representation may be seen on the DC16 channel displays and the EQ screen on
Master Fader.
Do you notice the dierent colors in the images below? These colors align with the colors
as seen in the EQ section of Master Fader for continuity. As it is with Master Fader, this is
for easy identication between the dierent EQ bands.
There will always be one channel editing page button LED illuminated in order to cover all EQ
parameters. An example of the Page 1 EQ parameters is displayed above and page 2 may be seen below.
The EQ button’s LED illuminates white when engaged.
• ASSIGN Button (ALT + EQ) [NYI]
The ASSIGN button is Not Yet Implemented [NYI], but will eventually display channel assignments
to a variety of audio and control groups. Stay tuned!
