EQ

Overview

Use the EQ module to determine the amount of EQ processing that is applied to your audio clip before it is processed by the Reverb module.

Module

The EQ module includes the following controls:

Control	Description
Power Button	Bypasses EQ processing.
Amount	Increases or decreases the amount of EQ processing applied to the signal.

Advanced View

The EQ module advanced view includes an EQ curve view and advanced EQ controls.

EQ Controls

The following EQ controls are available within the advanced view:

• Band Controls
• Filter Shape Menu
• Readouts

Band Controls

You can adjust bands with the following controls:

Control	Description
Band Node	Represents the band and its associated parameters. When a band node is selected, controls related to that band will become available for you to adjust.
Power Button	Enables or disables processing of the currently selected band node.
Remove	Removes the selected band node.

Add Bands

You can add up to eight bands using the two methods outlined in the table below.

Add Band Method	Description
Add on the Composite Curve	Hover over the white composite curve and a + button will appear. Click the + button to add a node at that frequency.
Add anywhere	Double click anywhere in the EQ view to add a new band node.

Filter Shape Menu

Select from one of the five filter shapes within the Filter Shape menu to apply to the selected band. The filter shape dropdown menu includes the following the filter shapes:

Shape	Description
Bell	Smoothly boosts or cuts an adjustable region around a specific frequency.
Low Shelf/High Shelf	Efficient shelf filter for simple boosts or cuts. Similar to the standard shelf in an analog EQ.
Lowpass/Highpass	A filter equipped with a resonance control to emphasize the cutoff frequency with a positive gain.

Readouts

Use the Readouts in the EQ control bar to see and adjust where the node is located within the EQ. The table below describes the readouts available with each readout’s respective units.

Readout	Units	Description
Frequency	Hz	Displays the center frequency (or cutoff frequency) of the currently selected node. The EQ supports frequency values ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Gain	dB	Displays the amount of gain applied by the selected filter. The EQ supports gain adjustments ranging from -10 dB to +10 dB.
Q	(cF/Bandwidth)	Displays the width or slope of the selected filter.

Adjusting EQ Band Parameters

You can adjust the following EQ band parameters by interacting with the nodes using the adjustments described in the table below.

Parameter	Adjustments
Frequency	Click and drag EQ node left to decrease the frequency or right to increase the frequency. Manually enter the value as described below. Use the left and right arrow keys.
Gain	Click and drag EQ node down to decrease the gain or up to increase the gain. Manually enter the value as described below. Use the up and down arrow keys.
Q (Bandwidth)	Click and drag EQ node handles toward node to narrow the bandwidth or away from the node to widen the bandwidth. Manually enter the value as described below. Use alt (Windows) or option (Mac) + arrow keys.

To manually enter the value for Frequency, Gain, or Q:

1. Double click on the value readout of the metric you wish to change.
2. Type in the value desired in the text edit field.
3. Hit enter or return to save the value adjustment.
