EQ bypass
Whenever one or several EQ modules are activated for a
channel, the EQ button lights up in green in the Mixer
channel strip, Inspector (Equalizer and Channel sections),
track list, and Channel Settings window (top right corner
of the EQ section).
You can also bypass all EQ modules. This is useful, as it
allows you to compare the sound with and without EQ.
Proceed as follows:
• In the Mixer, the track list and in the Channel section in
the Inspector, click the EQs state button so that it turns
yellow.
To deactivate EQ bypass, click the button again, so that it turns green
again.
• In the Inspector (Equalizers tab) and in the Channel
Settings window, click the Bypass button (next to the EQ
button) so that it turns yellow.
Click again to deactivate EQ bypass mode.
