Parametric equalizer
The parametric equalizer consists of four filter bands to form the
sound of the music track. Each band is a filter with a typical “bell
shape”. Within a certain frequency range 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 so as to give it more “depth” (lower center
200-600 Hz) or more “air” (Highs 10 kHz). You can also decrease the
narrow bandwidth (high Q value) in the frequency response to
remove, for example, 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: With the peak meter you can control 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): Here you can set the bandwidth of the individual
filters to between 10 Hz and 10 kHz.
