Parametric Equalizer
The parametric equalizer consists of four filter bands for adjusting the overall sound of the music track.
Each band is a filter with a typical "bell shape". Within a certain frequency range
and around an adjustable middle frequency, you can increase or reduce the signal level gain. The width
of this frequency range is called bandwidth. The bandwidth is defined by the Q value. The higher the Q
value, the narrower and steeper the filter curve.
You can influence the basic sound of the mix by increasing and decreasing the broadband to give it more
"depth" (lower center = 200-600 Hz) or more "air" (highs = 10Khz). You can also decrease the narrow
bandwidth (high Q value) in the frequency response, e.g. to remove disruptive frequencies.
Graphic:
The resulting frequency path of the
equalizer is displayed in the graphic. The
frequency is spread out horizontally, the
increase or decrease of the respective
frequency, vertically.
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.
