MIXER EFFECTS

be flexible enough to cover a broad range of

applications. By adjusting Gain and Bandwidth

together, you can emulate the smooth and musical

character of classic analog EQ circuits, in which

the Gain/Bandwidth dependency was dictated by

the actual circuit design and electrical

components used.

Low and high shelf filters

The Low and High bands offer a shelf option that

is similar to those found in most conventional

parametric EQs.

EQ graph

The EQ graph below the EQ section (Figure 9-3)

provides a thumbnail visual indication of the

current EQ settings for the input channel. It is for

visual reference only and cannot be edited directly.

However, you can click it to open the full-size EQ

graph in a separate window (Figure 9-4), which is

fully editable.

COMPRESSOR

All mixer input channel strips provide a

compressor module.

Figure 9-5: The Compressor module.

The Compressor (Figure 9-5) lowers the level of

the input when amplitude of the signal is above the

Threshold. The amount of attenuation is

determined by the Ratio and the input level. For

example, if the input is 6 dB above the Threshold

and the Ratio is 3:1, the compressor will attenuate
