Apple: AUGraphicEQ
Allows you to use the Apple AUGraphicEQ to shape a wide variety of frequencies
throughout the audible frequency range. You have the choice of a 31-band or a 10-band
version.
• Options button: Opens the Apple: AUGraphicEQ interface.
• Apple: AUGraphicEQ: You can use a pop-up menu in the equalizer’s interface to choose
to use the 31-band or 10-band version of the equalizer. You can use the slider to adjust
the level for each band to any number between –20 dB and 20 dB, or select a band
and enter a number in the dB field. You can drag the pointer to select multiple bands.
You can also hold down the Control key and drag across the bands, effectively “drawing”
an equalization curve. Click the Flatten EQ button to set all bands to a 0.0 dB value.
