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 4
The outer two sets of band controls let you make high-pass and low-pass adjustments,
ifnecessary.
Band enable button: Turns each band of EQ on and off.
Band filter type: Bands 1 and 4 can be switched among six specific filtering options
for processing the lowest or highest frequencies in the signal. These include
(from top to bottom): Lo-Pass, Lo-Shelf, Bell, Notch, Hi-Shelf, and Hi-Pass.
Freq: Adjusts the center frequency of the EQ adjustment.
Bands 2 and 3
The middle two sets of band controls let you make a wide variety of equalization adjustments.
Band enable button: Turns each band of EQ on and off.
Band filter type: Bands 2–3 can be switched among four different filtering options
(from top to bottom) Lo-Shelf, Bell, Notch, and Hi-Shelf.
Frequency: Adjusts the center frequency of the EQ adjustment.
Gain: Adjusts the amount by which the affected frequencies are affected. Negative
values attenuate those frequencies, while positive values boost those frequencies.
Q Factor: Adjusts the width of affected frequencies. Lower values include a wider
range of frequencies; higher values include a narrower range of frequencies.
Keyframing Audio
There are two ways you can keyframe audio in the Edit page. You can use each audio clip’s
volume curve in the Timeline, or you can use the keyframe controls in the Inspector to animate
the Volume parameter of individual clips as you would any other clip attribute, fading the level
up or down, panning from left to right, or dynamically changing any one of a host of filter
controls, in subframe increments, if necessary.
For more information on keyframing in the Inspector, see Chapter 44, “Keyframing Effects
in the Edit Page.” Any keyframes you create using the Keyframe controls of the Inspector
automatically appear on the volume curve of that audio clip in the Timeline.
