Generate Current Material Spectrum from audio le: Generates a frequency spectrum for an
audio le that you have chosen.
Rene the Match EQ curve
Each time you match two audio signals, either by loading or learning a new spectrum while
Match is activated or by turning on Match after a new spectrum has been loaded, any existing
changes to the lter curve are discarded and Apply is set to 100%.
Do either of the following:
m Drag the Apply slider down from the default 100% value to avoid extreme spectral changes to
your mix.
m Drag the Smoothing slider to adjust the spectral detail of the generated EQ curve—if required.
Use the matched EQ on a channel strip
Match EQ creates a lter curve based on the dierences between the spectrum of the template
and the current material. This curve automatically compensates for dierences in gain between
the template and the current material, with the resulting EQ curve referenced to 0 dB. A yellow
lter response curve appears in the graphic display, showing the average spectrum of your mix.
This curve approximates (mirrors) the average spectrum of your source audio le.
1 Choose the channel strip that you want to match from the Sidechain pop-up menu of the
Match EQ window.
2 Click the Template Learn button.
3 Play the entire source audio le from start to nish. To stop the learn process, click the Template
Learn button again.
4 Return to the start of your mix, click Current Material Learn, and play your mix (the current
material) from start to nish.
5 When you are done, click Current Material Match (this automatically turns o the Current Material
Learn button).
