TIP Compare the audio with changes against the original unaltered audio by clicking
on the bypass button at the very top of the equalizer window. This lets you turn the
equalizer on or off.
Band Filters
There are six different types of band filters you can choose from. These filters include bell,
highshelf, low shelf, notch, high pass and low pass. These filters let you control specific zones
within the frequency range. For example, a low shelf filter lets you increase or decrease the
level of volume for lower frequencies on the graph, and a high shelf filter controls the higher
frequencies.
Try setting a low shelf filter to band 3 and make changes to the gain setting. You will see the
changes are weighted towards the low end frequencies on the graph.
A description for each filter type is provided below.
Bell High Shelf Low Shelf
This filter is used to increase
or decrease a range of
frequencies surrounding
adefined frequency.
Lets you increase or decrease
the level of volume for higher
frequencies along the graph.
Lets you increase or decrease
the level of volume for lower
frequencies along the graph.
Notch High Pass Low Pass
This filter lets you remove,
orcut, a defined frequency.
Smoothly removes extreme
low end frequencies, allowing
the high end frequencies to
pass unaffected.
Smoothly removes extreme

frequencies to pass

TIP It’s not uncommon to have filters on each band overlapping on the graph curve
with adjustments working together. For example, you may have a low shelf filter
applied to band 4 and a notch filter on band 5 reducing a frequency within the
samerange.
Dynamics Controls
In addition to the 6 band parametric equalizer, you can also enhance and finesse the input
andmaster output audio using dynamics controls. Where the equalizer lets you control the
frequencies within a signal, dynamics controls let you set how various levels behave. Levels
within the signal can be adjusted including expanding the dynamic range between low levels
and high levels, gating an input so you can choose what is stronger or softer within a signal,
oryou can even use the compressor and limiter so that audio can be generally lifted and made
stronger without clipping.
