34 Chapter 3 Equalizer
Parameters
The View pull-down menu allows you to select the type of information shown on the
analyzer display in the center. The following options are available:
• Automatic: Depending on the selected function, the analyzer view is automatically
toggled between the three following options.
• Template: The analyzer display shows the average frequency curve, which is
generated by analyzing the input signal or loading a template.
• Current Material: The analyzer visualizes the average frequency curve, which is
generated by analyzing the track signal or loading a Setting file or template.
• Filter: The analyzer displays the filter curve, which is generated by matching the
Template and the spectra of the Current Material.
Independent of the selection, the analyzer can be activated/deactivated via the On/Off
button. The Analyzer Position pull-down menu allows you to place the analyzer tap
before (Pre: unchanged) or behind the filter circuit (Post: behind the Match EQ).
Note: Deactivating the analyzer frees up processing power for other applications.
On stereo channels, the view mode is configured via the lower View toggle menu. You
can select whether the analyzer displays both audio channels via separate curves (L&R)
or the summed maximum level (LR Max).
You can manually modify the filter curve generated via matching the Template with the
Current Material. The buttons in the Select section let you choose whether the
modifications are applied only to the left, right, or both channels.
You can refine this selection via the Channel Link slider. If the slider is set to 1.0, the L
and R buttons for the single channels will have no effect, because both channels are
represented via a common EQ curve. At the minimum value of 0.0, two separate filter
curves are displayed, each of which can be selected for editing via the L and R buttons.
The intermediate settings of the Channel Link slider allow you to blend these extreme
values as required. As a result, any modification to either of the filter curves is
transferred to both channels, dependent on the Channel Link setting.
Note: In the mono version of the plug-in, the parameters in the View Mode, Select, and
Channel Link sections have no effect.
The Template and Current Material buttons perform the spectral analysis of the audio
signals, and match the resulting curves. Clicking the Learn button in the Template
section starts and stops measurement of the average frequency spectrum in the
reference signal.
Clicking the Learn button in the Current Material section starts and stops measurement
of the average frequency spectrum in the audio material of the track.
