Chapter 3 Equalizer 35
Note: Audio files can also be dragged onto the Template or Current Material Learn
buttons to generate template or current spectra. A progress bar displays the progress
of the analysis process.
If you right-click (or Control click) on either of the Learn buttons, a context menu opens.
This menu allows the spectrum of the template or the track signal (Current Material) to
be:
• cleared
• copied to the Match EQ clipboard, which is common to all Match EQ instances in the
current song.
• pasted from the Match EQ clipboard to the active instance.
• loaded from a stored Setting file.
• generated from an audio file (chosen in the File Selector). This is done by choosing
the Generate Template/Current Material Spectrum from audio file option, and selecting
an appropriate file in the file selector that appears. A progress bar displays the status
of the analysis process.
Note: When you activate the Learn button in either the Template or Current Material
section, the View parameter is set to Auto, and the analyzer will display the current
status of the spectral analysis, indicated by a progress bar.
The Match button in the Current Material section allows you to write the differences
between the learned or loaded Template and the learned or loaded spectrum of the
Current Material to a filter curve. Differences in gain are automatically compensated for,
with the resulting EQ curve referenced to the 0 dB line.
The filter curve is updated automatically each time a new template or current material
spectrum is learned or loaded, when the Match button is enabled. You can toggle
between the matched (and possibly scaled and/or manually modified) filter curve and
a flat response by activating/deactivating the Match button.
Note: Each time a new audio spectrum is matched—either by loading/learning a new
spectrum while Match is activated or by activating Match after a new spectrum has
been loaded—existing manual modifications are discarded, and Apply is set to 100%.
Basically, only one of the Learn buttons may be active at a time. As an example, if the
Learn button in the Template section is active and you press the Learn button in the
Current Material section, the analysis of the template file stops, and the current status is
used as the spectral template. Analysis of the track (Current Material) will then begin.
Note: If you have manually modified the filter curve, the original (or flat) curve can be
restored by Option-clicking on the background of the analyzer display. A second
Option-click restores the most recently modified curve.
