92 Chapter 5 EQ
 Format button: Sets whether the Analyzer displays audio channels via separate
curves (L&R for stereo, All Cha for surround) or the summed maximum level (LR Max
for stereo, Cha Max for surround).
 Select buttons: Click one of the buttons to control whether any changes you make to
the filter curve created by matching the template with the current material are
applied only to the left channel (L), the right channel (R), or both channels (L+R).
 Select menu (not pictured): When using a surround instance of the Match EQ, the
Select buttons are replaced by a menu, from which you can choose an individual
channel for changes to the filter curve, or choose All.
 Channel Link slider: Refines the settings made using the Select buttons or Select
menu. When set to 1.0, all channels (L and R for stereo, or all channels for surround)
are represented by a common EQ curve. When set to 0.0 (the minimum value), a
separate filter curve is displayed for each channel, which can be selected using the
Select buttons or Select menu. Settings between 0.0 and 1.0 allow you to blend these
values with your changes to the filter curves being transferred to each channel, as
determined by the setting.
Note: The View, Select, and Channel Link parameters are disabled when using the
effect on a mono channel.
 LFE Handling (extended parameter): In surround instances, the LFE Handling radio
buttons allow you to process or bypass the LFE channel.
Center Section
 Graphic display: Displays the filter curve created by matching the template to the
current material. You can edit the filter curve (see “Editing the Filter Curve”).
 Template Learn button: Click to start the process of learning the frequency spectrum
of the source file. Click again to stop the learning process.
 Current Material Learn button: Click to start the process of learning the frequency
spectrum of the project you want to match the source file. Click again to stop the
learning process.
 Current Material Match button: Matches the frequency spectrum of the current
material to that of the template (source) file.
Right Side
 Phase button: Sets whether processing alters (Minimal) or is prevented from altering
the signal phase (Linear). The Linear setting increases latency, while the Minimal
setting results in lower latency.
 Apply slider and field: Modifies the effect of the filter curve on the signal. Values
between 101% and 200% magnify the effect, values between 1% to 99% reduce it,
and values from –1% to –100% invert the peaks and troughs in the filter curve. A
value of 100% produces no modification of the filter curve.
