• Phase pop-up menu: Set the processing mode of the EQ and the chosen output stage.
Natural mirrors the cut/boost phase shifts of the original EQ. Linear allows EQ changes
without phase shifts of the source signal.
Each analog EQ introduces phase shifts of the signal which can have an audible (and
often desirable) effect on the sound. In some situations, however, phase shifts can
affect transients. This is especially the case when using steep cut filters, or high
boost of narrow filters. Linear phase filters let you change only the gain of a certain
frequency area of your material by retaining the phase, with slightly higher latency
than in natural mode.
• Volume field: Drag vertically to set the overall plug-in output level. Range is ±25 dB.
Logic Pro Vintage Console EQ
Vintage Console EQ emulates the EQ section of a well-known mixing console channel that
is noted for its tonal color, warmth, smooth top end, and mid-forward presence. A three-
band design with switchable low and mid range bands and a fixed 12 kHz high frequency
band, it also has a passive third-order (18 dB/octave) low cut/highpass filter.
The original console module is regarded as a cult classic by many recording engineers,
and has been used on countless hit records over the past 40 to 50 years.
Vintage Console EQ parameters
• In/Out switch: Turn the EQ circuit on or off.
• Low Cut button: Turn the low cut/highpass filter on or off. This is a third-order filter set
at 18 dB per octave.
• Low Cut knob: Set the low cut/highpass filter frequency at 50, 80, 160, or 300 Hz, or set
values between these increments. Frequencies below this are rolled off at a fixed 18 dB
per octave.
• Low button: Turn the low shelving filter on or off.
• Low Gain knob: Set the low shelving filter level. The gain range is ±16 dB.
• Low knob: Set the low shelving filter center frequency at 35, 60, 110, or 220 Hz, or set
values between these increments.
• Mid button: Turn the mid range filter on or off.
• Mid Gain knob: Set the mid range filter level. The gain range is ±18 dB.
• Mid Freq knob: Set the mid range filter center frequency at 0.36, 0.7, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, or 7.2
kHz, or set values between these increments.
• High button: Turn the high shelving filter on or off. Fixed at 12 kHz.
• High Gain knob: Set the high shelving level. The gain range is ±16 dB.
