Note: Use the Linear Phase EQ where phase coherence between tracks is needed, such
as multi microphone recordings. The Linear Phase does not introduce any phase shift to
the signal which can also be beneficial in mastering, but it does impact on the onset of the
transient. This is most evident when using steep cut filters, or high boosts/cuts of narrow
filter bands.
Use the Linear Phase EQ graphic display
The graphic display shows the current curve of each EQ band. The scale is shown in
decibels. The color of each band matches the corresponding button above the display.
Each colored band (and corresponding Frequency, Gain, and Q field) is highlighted as you
move the pointer across it. Click a curve line segment, the (center frequency) control point,
or anywhere in the colored space between the zero line and EQ curve to adjust the band.
Click the control point to select a band for editing. Once a band is selected, no other
band control point that falls within the active (colored) area of the selected band can
be selected.
Click the graphic display background (outside a colored band) to deselect the
selected band.
Hold down Command while performing any of the following operations to limit dragging
to vertical or horizontal movement.
Drag anywhere in the colored band to adjust gain and the center frequency.
Drag the vertical lines that encompass the selected band to adjust the Q (bandwidth)
only. Two arrow icons are shown.
Use a two-finger vertical swipe with the trackpad, or a single-finger vertical swipe with
the Magic Mouse, to adjust the Q value of the selected band.
Drag the horizontal line in the selected band to adjust the gain only. If Q-Coupling is
enabled, both the gain and bandwidth are adjusted. Two arrow icons are shown.
Drag the intersection of vertical and horizontal lines in the selected band to adjust the
gain and Q simultaneously. Four arrow icons are shown.
Drag the control point to adjust the center frequency only.
Note: Horizontally dragging the control point in band 1 and band 8 adjusts both the
frequency and Q.
Hold down Option-Command to adjust the Q and center frequency simultaneously. A “Q”
icon is shown at the pointer position.
