Chapter 15 : Channel View : Output Graphic EQ
Introduction
Graphic EQ is a great tool for really dialing in the response needed for a room or to squelch feedback from
monitors. Arrival is easy. Simply tap the graphic/parametric EQ curve at the top of the master fader channel
from the mixer view or from any input channel view.
What’s more, you don’t have to decide between utilizing GEQ or PEQ...use one or the other or both
simultaneously! This extra exibility allows you to take advantage of each output EQ’s strengths
by choosing the right tool for the job. For example, if you prefer to ght feedback with the graphic EQ,
you may continue to do so while also utilizing the parametric EQ for general tone shaping. Or perhaps
you would rather use the parametric EQ to ght feedback and use the graphic EQ to tune the room?
The graphic EQ looks and works similarly to that of a typical 31-band graphic EQ.
The default output EQ view may be changed in Tools > Settings > Default Output EQ View
for even faster access. [See page 155 for more information].
The Swipe Zone
Here in the graphic EQ view, swipe anywhere in the gray area outlined below. Swiping up displays
the output compressor / delay view. Swiping down displays the parametric EQ. Swiping left and
right does nothing.
Graphic EQ On / O
The graphic EQ button is located near the upper-left corner of the screen. This allows for true bypass of the
graphic EQ circuitry to ensure that there is no coloration of the signal if the graphic EQ is not needed. When
this button is disengaged, the graphic EQ controls have no eect on the signal. You may use this button to
make an A/B comparison between the EQ’d signal and the signal without graphic EQ. Press the graphic EQ
button to turn graphic EQ on or o. It will illuminate green when engaged and is gray when disengaged.
