The blue bullets 1-4 symbolize the four wave bands. You can move them
around with the mouse until you find your desired frequency response.
Peak meter: The peak meter gives you control over the output level of the
equalizer. The adjacent master gain controller can be used to balance the level
with the EQ.
Edit: The "Edit" button opens the fine tuning for the four bands:
Parameter selection: With the buttons on the right you can select the
parameter that can be adjusted with four faders of each band. Furthermore,
there are number keys to enter every parameter of the bands.
Gain dB: These controllers allow you to raise or lower the filter. Setting the
controller to 0 deactivates the filter and doesn’t use CPU power.
Freq. Hz: The center frequency of the individual filters can be set between 10
Hz and 24 kHz with the frequency controllers. Freely choosing the frequency
enables multiple filters to be set to the same frequency in order to have a
greater effect.
Q (bandwidth): Set the bandwidth of the individual filters between 10 Hz and
10 kHz.
There is still a peculiarity among bands 1 and 4; The filter curve for these
bands can be changed from a normal "peaking" EQ filter (
) to "shelving"
(
) (this is the basic setting) and high (band 1) or high-cut (band 4) .
When using the "shelving" filter, a soft increase or decrease in all frequencies
happens above or below the filter frequency, and the Q parameter does not
have a function here. With a low-cut or high-cut filter, all frequencies below
(low-cut) or above (high-cut) the set frequency are filtered out.
