User Manual

 Equalizer Type: Changes the EQ control functionality to emulate different EQ
characteristics from “classic” mixing consoles. There are four options:
–
Earth: (Default) Native Fairlight controls
–
Air: Emulates the SSL 4K
–
Ice: Emulates the Neve V
–
Fire: Emulates the Focusrite
 Gain fader: A post-EQ level control that lets you boost or attenuate the signal to
compensate for the EQ adjustment you’re making raising or lowering the level.
Graphical EQ Controls
A graph at the top shows a curve with handles that correspond to each of the enabled EQ
bands listed below. You can drag any numbered handle to boost or attenuate the range of
frequencies governed by that band, using whatever type of equalization that band has
been set to.
The EQ graph with user-draggable handles
Dragging the numbered handles on this graph in turn modifies the parameters of the
corresponding band, and changing each bands parameters will also alter the EQ graph, which
serves the additional purpose of providing a graphical representation of the equalization being
applied to that track.
Bands 1 and 6
The outer two sets of band controls let you make high-pass and low-pass adjustments, if
necessary. They’re off by default.
The Band 1 and 6 controls
 Band enable button: Turns each band of EQ on and off.
 Band filter type: Bands 1 and 6 can be switched among four specific filtering options
for processing the lowest or highest frequencies in the signal. These include (from top
to bottom) Hi-Shelf, Hi-Pass, Lo-Pass, and Lo-Shelf.
