Metering:
• Green = nominal levels.
• Yellow = pre-clipping at –6 below full scale
signal.
• Red = full scale signal (clipping).
The Cartesian Graph
The Cartesian Graph displays a visual representa-
tion of the current EQ settings. As you adjust the
parameters of any currently active filter, the Carte-
sian Graph will plot the changes to the EQ curve in
real-time. If you are using D2 in stereo, the Carte-
sian Graph displays the EQ curve for the right
channel in red and the left channel in blue.
EQ Filter Controls
Each of the six different EQ filters has its own con-
trols and its own icon. The icons act as three-state
switches for enabling, disabling, or bypassing the
specific filter. The current state of a filter is indi-
cated by its color:
• White = enabled. In this state the filter is active,
audible, and using available DSP resources.
• Black = disabled. In this state the filter is not us-
ing any DSP resources and has no effect on au-
dio.
• Gray = bypassed. In this state the filter is not
active, but is still using available DSP resources.
The effect of the filter is not audible.
High-Pass Filter
The 18 dB/octave High-Pass Filter provides a
rotary control for adjusting the corner (cutoff)
frequency, variable from 20 Hz to 6.4 kHz.
The plug-in window includes a Clip LED that
lights red to indicate plug-in clipping. The
plug-in Clip LED follows Pro Tools settings
for clip indication. (For more information,
see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.)
Cartesian Graph
Alt-clicking (Windows) or Option-clicking
(Mac) the Cartesian Graph resets all D2 pa-
rameters to their default settings. To reset pa-
rameters for both channels when in Stereo
mode, Alt-Shift-click (Windows) or Option-
Shift-click (Mac) the Cartesian Graph.
