The 4-Band Equaliser
The four band equaliser allows you to make tonal changes to your track. It is a standard two band
parametric equaliser with low pass and high pass cut-off controls.
The lter surface shows the current EQ curve for easy visual reference
(Fig. 3.4.11). Unlike the volume/pan however, the lter surface of the four band
equaliser is not interactive.
Clicking on this lter will display the EQ editor in the properties panel
(Fig. 3.4.12).
The large circles control the frequency, gain, and slope (Q) of the four EQ bands. Dragging the cen-
tre square left and right changes the frequency, whereas dragging the square up and down alters the
gain.
The slope is depicted by the shaded segment of the circle. The larger the segment, the steeper the
slope. You can adjust the slope by clicking inside the circle and dragging up and down.
Reset: This button can be used to quickly reset the EQ back to the default (at) state.
Phase invert: When this option is selected, the phase of the audio passing through the lter will be in-
verted.
Preset: Use these buttons to load, save, and delete EQ pre-sets.
Enabled: Use this option to toggle whether this lter is active. Disabling a lter stops it from processing
the incoming signal. In addition, disabled lters typically do not use CPU resources. This option is use-
ful for making A/B comparisons.
Keyboard shortcut: F.
Delete lter: Click this to remove the lter from the track.
Keyboard shortcut: DELETE or BACKSPACE.
